Duplicate Finder

This application searches for duplicate files in input directory and its subdirectories. It is alternative for DDH (https://github.com/darakian/ddh/)

Install

Use rustup and cargo as usual.

Differences from DDH

1. Pretty progress bar.

Usage

USAGE:
    duplicate-finder [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:

    -n, --no-progress    Disables progress bar
    -V, --version        Prints version information

How Does it Work?

Duplicate finder uses siphasher algorithm to determine files uniqueness and, as such, depends heavily on disk speeds for performance.

Work In Progress:

1. Apply all threads to make hashing faster.
2. Throw away clap crate dependency, it is fat and ugly.
3. Tests!
