semiuniq – uniq-like tool

runiq offers an efficient way (in both time and space) to filter duplicate entries (lines) from textual input.

nauniq is similar to the Unix command uniq but detects repeated lines even if they are not adjacent. It’s written in Perl.

huniq remove duplicates from the given input. Note that huniq does not sort the input, it just removes duplicates.

fuser identifies processes using files or sockets. It’s written in the C programming language and published under the GPL.
