UNIQ(1)                 GENIX Programmer's Manual                 UNIQ(1)



      NAME
           uniq - report repeated lines in a file

      SYNOPSIS
           uniq [ -udc [ +n ] [ -n ] ] [ input [ output ] ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Uniq reads the input file comparing adjacent lines.  In  the  normal
           case,  the  second  and  succeeding  copies  of  repeated  lines are
           removed; the remainder is written on the  output  file.   Note  that
           repeated  lines  must be adjacent in order to be found; see sort(1).
           If the -u flag is used, just the lines that are not repeated in  the
           original  file are output.  The -d option specifies that one copy of
           just the repeated lines is to be written.  The normal mode output is
           the union of the -u and -d mode outputs.

           The -c option supersedes -u and -d and generates an output report in
           default  style  but with each line preceded by a count of the number
           of times it occurred.

           The n arguments specify skipping an initial portion of each line  in
           the comparison:

           -n      The first n fields together with any blanks before each  are
                   ignored.   A field is defined as a string of non-space, non-
                   tab characters separated by tabs and spaces from its  neigh-
                   bors.

           +n      The first n characters  are  ignored.   Fields  are  skipped
                   before characters.
