Duplicate Destroyer Library

This library provides functionality to find duplicate files and folders.

To search for duplicates in a set of directories, call get_duplicates function. The function goes recursively through all the directories in its input and finds all duplicate files and directories. It then returns the topmost directories and files for which there exists at least one duplicate.

Example usage

Suppose we have directory structure:

tests/fixtures/
├── A
│   ├── a.txt
│   └── b
│       ├── alpha.txt
│       └── beta.txt
├── B
│   └── A
│       ├── a.txt
│       └── b
│           ├── alpha.txt
│           └── beta.txt
└── C
    ├── a.txt
    ├── b
    │   ├── alpha.txt
    │   └── beta.txt
    └── diff.txt

The get_duplicates function would then return these directories as duplicates {“tests/fixtures/A”, “tests/fixtures/B/A”}:

use duplicate_destroyer::*;

// Create DuDe configuration
let mut config: Config = Default::default();
config.set_minimum_size(0); // Use non-default minimum size (see Config structure for details)

// Create vector of paths to search for duplicates
let input_dirs = vec![OsString::from("tests/fixtures")];

// Get duplicates
let duplicates = duplicate_destroyer::get_duplicates(input_dirs, &config).unwrap();

let expected_paths = [OsString::from("tests/fixtures/A"),
                      OsString::from("tests/fixtures/B/A")];
let expected_output = DuplicateObject::new(8235, HashSet::from(expected_paths));
assert_eq!(duplicates[0], expected_output)
