.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility reads the specified
|
|
.Ar input_file
|
|
comparing adjacent lines, and writes a copy of each unique input line to
|
|
the
|
|
.Ar output_file .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar input_file
|
|
is a single dash
|
|
.Pq Sq \&-
|
|
or absent, the standard input is read.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar output_file
|
|
is absent, standard output is used for output.
|
|
The second and succeeding copies of identical adjacent input lines are
|
|
not written.
|
|
Repeated lines in the input will not be detected if they are not adjacent,
|
|
so it may be necessary to sort the files first.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Precede each output line with the count of the number of times the line
|
|
occurred in the input, followed by a single space.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Only output lines that are repeated in the input.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar num
|
|
Ignore the first
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
fields in each input line when doing comparisons.
|
|
A field is a string of non-blank characters separated from adjacent fields
|
|
by blanks.
|
|
Field numbers are one based, i.e. the first field is field one.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar chars
|
|
Ignore the first
|
|
.Ar chars
|
|
characters in each input line when doing comparisons.
|
|
If specified in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option, the first
|
|
.Ar chars
|
|
characters after the first
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
fields will be ignored.
|
|
Character numbers are one based, i.e. the first character is character one.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Only output lines that are not repeated in the input.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Case insensitive comparison of lines.
