This is a nice little tool helping to find duplicate files within a given directory.
How Files Are Matched
- compare the size of the files
- compare their MD5 sums
- if above matches, compare them byte-by-byte
Usage
Invocation is just as simple as eatin' pancakes:
fdupes -r -n /stuff
compares all files within /stuff recursively (-r) omitting zero-length files (-n).
