Readme for takedouble-0.0.2.0

[back to package description]

takedouble

TakeDouble is a duplicate file finder that reads and checks the filesize and first 4k and last 4k of a file and only then checks the full file to find duplicates.

How do I make it go?

You can use nix or cabal to build this.

cabal build should produce a binary. (use ghcup to install cabal and the latest GHC version).

After that, takedouble <dirname> so you could use takedouble ~/ for example.

If there are common files you'd like to exclude (such as .git directories) you can pass a glob to exclude any matching patterns from the output.

For example

takedouble <dirname> "**/.git/**"

Is it Fast?

On my ThinkPad with six Xeon cores, 128GB RAM, and a 1TB Samsung 970 Pro NVMe (via PCIe 3.0), I can check 34393 uncached files in 6.4 seconds. A second run on the same directory takes 2.8 seconds due to file metainfo cached in memory.
