NAME

ct-uniq — print unique structures from a .ct file

SYNOPSIS

ct-uniq [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

ct-uniq reads a set of stuctures in .ct format from each FILE, sorts them, and writes the unique structures to standard output. All structures should be on the same sequence(s) or ct-uniq may not function correctly.

When no FILE is specified, or if FILE is -, ct-uniq reads standard input.

ct-uniq is generally used to eliminate duplicates from sets of stochastic tracebacks produced by hybrid or hybrid-ss.
