Is there a bcftools command to remove duplicate records in a vcf file?

If a variant has duplicate records, I'd like to remove all entries of such variant in the vcf.

beside unique can you take a look at this "Variant Normalization"

Exactly duplicated records?

If the records are truly identical, sort the file and use uniq.

Make sure the vcf isn't compressed before you pass or pipe!

Edit: I should clarify that you don't need to use BCFtools for this. So, use good-old regular uniq not bcftools uniq; that doesn't exist.
