PROGRAM:
NAME
hardlink - Link multiple copies of a file
SYNOPSIS
hardlink [option]... [directory|file]...
DESCRIPTION
hardlink is a tool which replaces copies of a file with hardlinks, therefore saving space.
OPTIONS
-h or --help
print quick usage details to the screen.
-v or --verbose
More verbose output. If specified once, every hardlinked file is displayed, if
specified twice, it also shows every comparison.
-n or --dry-run
Do not act, just print what would happen
-f or --respect-name
Only try to link files with the same (basename).
-p or --ignore-mode
Link/compare files even if their mode is different. This may be a bit
unpredictable.
-o or --ignore-owner
Link/compare files even if their owner (user and group) is different. It is not
predictable
-t or --ignore-time
Link/compare files even if their time of modification is different. You almost
always want this.
-X or --respect-xattrs
Only try to link files with the same extended attributes.
-m or --maximize
Among equal files, keep the file with the highest link count.
-M or --minimize
Among equal files, keep the file with the lowest link count.
-O or --keep-oldest
Among equal files, keep the oldest file (least recent modification time). By
default, the newest file is kept. If --maximize or --minimize is specified, the
link count has a higher precedence than the time of modification.
-x or --exclude
A regular expression which excludes files from being compared and linked.
-i or --include
A regular expression to include files. If the option --exclude has been given, this
option re-includes files which would otherwise be excluded. If the option is used
without --exclude, only files matched by the pattern are included.
-s or --nimum-size
The minimum size to consider. By default this is 1, so empty files will not be
linked. An optional suffix of K,M,G,T may be provided, indicating that the file
size is KiB,MiB,GiB,TiB.
ARGUMENTS
hardlink takes one or more directories which will be searched for files to be linked.
