Crate fclones

Re-exports§

DedupeResult: Provides information about the number of deduplicated files and reclaimed disk space
DiskDevices: Finds disk devices by file paths
Error: Error reported by top-level fclones functions
FileGroup: A group of files that have something in common, e.g. same size or same hash
FileHash
FileId: Useful for identifying files in presence of hardlinks
FileInfo
FileLen: Represents length of data, in bytes. Provides more type safety and nicer formatting over using a raw u64.
FileSubGroup: A subgroup of identical files, typically smaller than a FileGroup. A subgroup is formed by files sharing the same path prefix, e.g. files on the same volume. In terms of file deduplication activities, a subgroup is an atomic entity - all files in a subgroup must be either dropped or kept.
PartitionedFileGroup
Path: Memory-efficient file path representation.
PathAndMetadata: Convenience struct for holding a path to a file and its metadata together

dedupe: Generates a list of commands that will remove the redundant files in the groups provided by the groups iterator.
group_files: Groups identical files together by 128-bit hash of their contents. Depending on filtering settings, can find unique, duplicate, over- or under-replicated files.
log_script: Prints a script generated by dedupe to stdout.
run_script: Runs a deduplication script generated by dedupe.
sort_by_priority: Sort files so that files with highest priority (newest, most recently updated, recently accessed, etc) are sorted last. In cases when metadata of a file cannot be accessed, an error message is pushed in the result vector and such file is placed at the beginning of the list.
write_report: Writes the list of groups to a file or the standard output.
