Finds duplicate, unique, under- or over-replicated files
A simple command-line utility program that finds duplicate, unique, under- or over-replicated files.
Contrary to fdupes or rdfind, fclones processes files in parallel, which makes it very efficient on SSDs.
fclones communicates through standard Unix streams and it can write reports in human- and machine-friendly formats,
therefore you can easily combine it with other tools.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
