Hardlink duplicate files recursively
This tool should only be used when you are sure that duplicate files should remain duplicate in perpetuity
Usage: lndups [OPTIONS] [TARGET]...
Arguments:
[TARGET]... Target files and directories (recursive)
Each SEPARATOR denotes a new set of targets
Each set of targets are separate from all other sets
All targets in a set must be on the same device
Symlinks are ignored
'-' is not treated as special
Mutually exclusive with --target-file
Options:
-v, --verbose... Increase verbosity
-q, --quiet... Decrease verbosity
-r, --raw-output Show only hardlink operations and errors, in an easily parseable format
Outputs two columns separated by a tab
Bypasses verbosity
-n, --no-brace-output Disable brace notation for output
Ex: /home/user/{dir,backup}/file
-d, --dry-run Perform no operations on the filesystem
-i, --prompt Prompt once before operating
Doesn't occurs if no targets are provided
-m, --min-size <SIZE> Minimum file size to be considered for hardlinking
Never goes below 1 [default: 1]
-t, --threads <NUMBER> Number of threads [default: 2]
-s, --separator <SEPARATOR> Separator between sets of targets [default: ;]
-f, --target-file <FILE> File to source targets from (can be '-' for stdin)
Same rules as CLI argument targets apply
Mutually exclusive with CLI argument targets
-h, --help Print help
