These applications find identical / duplicate files and hard- or symlink
them to save space. This port was inspired by the application samefile written by Jens Schweikhardt. It has a own version of samefile that is noticeable faster and is able to process very large file list. This port contains the applications: samefile, samelink and samearchive. The latter does the same as samefile but for file-based archives. The port also contains a version that uses just 10% of the resources compared to samearchive. The application samelink (hard) links files for you. Typical usage would be: find / | samefile -i | samelink This would search for identical files and clean up wasted disk space by linking them together. Add the option -n after samelink for a dry-run. PR: ports/133637 Submitted by: Alex de Kruijff <freebsd@akruijff.dds.nl> (maintainer) Approved by: tabthorpe (co-mentor)
