# uniq
> Output the unique lines from the given input or file.
> Since it does not detect repeated lines unless they are adjacent, we need to sort them first.
- Display each line once:
`sort {{file}} | uniq`
- Display only unique lines:
`sort {{file}} | uniq -u`
- Display only duplicate lines:
`sort {{file}} | uniq -d`
- Display number of occurences of each line along with that line:
`sort {{file}} | uniq -c`
- Display number of occurences of each line, sorted by the most frequent:
`sort {{file}} | uniq -c | sort -nr`
