<val> for \fB\-\-max\-mem\fR may be 8G, 8000M, or 8000000000 to specify 8 GB of memory.

\fB\-\-unique\fR can be used to print only unique BED elements (similar to 'sort \fB\-u\fR'). Cannot be used with \fB\-\-duplicates\fR.
\fB\-\-duplicates\fR can be used to print only duplicated or repeated elements (similar to 'uniq \fB\-d\fR'). Cannot be used with \fB\-\-unique\fR.
