6.0;dldupl (delete_duplicate_lines), revision 6.0, 83/04/21
DLDUPL (DELETE_DUPLICATE_LINES) -- Strip repeated lines from a file.
usage:  DLDUPL [-C] [pathname ...]


FORMAT

  DLDUPL [-C] [pathname ...]


  DLDUPL  reads  the  input  file(s),  comparing  adjacent  lines.    Second and
  succeeding copies of repeated lines  are  removed;  the  remaining  lines  are
  written to standard output.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (optional)          Specify  input  file.    Multiple  file  names  permitted;
                     separate names with blanks.

                     Default if omitted:  read standard input


OPTIONS

  -C                 Write number  of  occurrences  of  each  line  to  standard
                     output.


EXAMPLES

  Suppose  you  have  two  dictionary  files.    To  create  one dictionary file
  containing the words from both, use:

      $ srf -m dict1 dict2 | dldupl >dict.new

  This merges the words from the two files (SRF -M), then deletes any  duplicate
  words and saves the result in the new dictionary.
