FreeDup 1.4-2 (Default branch)
ImageFreedup finds and eliminates duplicate files by linking them, and thus reduces the amount of used disk space withinone or more file systems. By default, hardlinks are used on a single device, symbolic links when the devices differ. A set of options allows you to modify the methods of file comparison, the hash functions, the linking behavior, and the reporting style. You may use batch or interactive mode. Freedup usually only considers identical files, but when comparing audio or graphics files, you may elect to ignore the tags.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
You now have full capabilities to determine link direction, which is particularily helpful when more then two files need to be linked. Also, the limitation that not more than 256 files may be identical no longer exists. (For efficient memory usage, four identical files are assumed and if more exist, memory allocation is doubled each time the boundary is reached.) The "-H" switch allows you to treat files that are already linked as duplicates, too. Without "-H", depending on the linking directions, the results can vary.Image

create_fastlinks(5)						File Formats Manual					       create_fastlinks(5)

NAME

       create_fastlinks - configure the system to use fast symbolic links

VALUES

   Minimum
   Maximum
   Default
       Specify integer value.

DESCRIPTION

       When  is  nonzero,  it causes the system to create HFS symbolic links in a manner that reduces the number of disk-block accesses by one for
       each symbolic link in a path name lookup.  This involves a slight change in the HFS disk format, which makes any disk  formatted  for  fast
       symbolic  links	unusable on Series 700 systems prior to HP-UX Release 9.0 and Series 800 systems prior to HP-UX Release 10.0 (this config-
       urable parameter was present on Series 700 Release 9.0 systems, but not on Series 800 HP-UX 9.0 systems).

       To provide backward compatibility, the default setting for is zero, which does not create the newer, faster  format.   However,	all  HP-UX
       10.0 kernels (and all Series 700 HP-UX 9.0 kernels) understand both disk formats, whether "create_fastlinks" is set to zero or non-zero.

WARNINGS

       All  HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
       factory installed on your system, see at
