       -D, --all-repeated[=METHOD]

              show  all  items,  separating  groups   with   an   empty   line
              METHOD={separate(default),prepend,append,both}
       -i, --ignore-case
              ignore differences in case when comparing
       -s, --skip-chars=N

       -u, --unique
              only print unique lines
       -z, --zero-terminated
              end lines with 0 byte, not newline
       -w, --check-chars=N
              compare no more than N characters in lines
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank
       characters.  Fields are skipped before chars.
       Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they  are  adjacent.
       You  may want to sort the input first, or use 'sort -u' without 'uniq'.
       Also, comparisons honor the rules specified by 'LC_COLLATE'.
