succeeding copies of repeated lines are removed. Repeated lines must be
adjacent in order to be found.

- Print (one copy of) duplicated lines.
- -c

Implies -u and -d.
-

each are ignored. A field is defined as a string of non-space, non-tab
characters separated by tabs and spaces from its neighbors.
-
