Find duplicate entries in STL algorithm

[silverburgh.meryl]

Hi,

Is there a STL algorithm which helps me in finding duplicate entries
from a list?
and it allows me to plug in a binary function as the match criteria?

Thank you.

What book on Standard Library are you reading?

Create a copy of your list, sort it, then enumerate the elements and
count the adjacent equal elements using 'adjacent_find'. Example of
that (or something similar, anyway) is on page 354 of "TC++SL:TR".
