Struct Deduper 

pub struct Deduper {
    pub cache: DedupCache,
    /* private fields */
}

Primary deduper: scans a source directory, maintains a chunk cache, and writes deduplicated chunk data to a target location.

Fields

cache: DedupCache

Implementations

impl Deduper

pub fn new( source_path: impl Into<PathBuf>, cache_paths: Vec<impl Into<PathBuf>>, hashing_algorithm: HashingAlgorithm, same_file_system: bool, ) -> Self

Initializes a new Deduper:

• Loads provided cache files in reverse order (so later ones override earlier),
• Prunes missing entries,
• Scans the source tree and updates or inserts modified/new files.

pub fn write_cache(&self)

Atomically writes the internal cache back to its backing file.

pub fn write_chunks( &mut self, target_path: impl Into<PathBuf>, declutter_levels: usize, ) -> Result<(), Error>

Writes all chunks from the current cache to target_path/data, applying optional decluttering (path splitting) to reduce directory entropy.
