DESCRIPTION
finddup search the working directory and all files below on the same partition for
duplicate files.
finddup can optional hardlink such files to save space.
Files size 0 will not be reported or hardlinked as this might give problemes later.
This is a complete rewrite of the finddup in perl to handle several issues:
- Allow spaces and other characters in filenames
- be faster
- include nodup in same script
- Handle files that already have other hardlinks in the same tree
- Several improvements
If started as nodup or nodup.pl the script will act like started with options --link and
--oldresult
