What it is

FileDedupe is a utility that checks one or more directories for duplicate files. Just run it with a list of directories on the command line. The default is to check all subdirectories. This can be controlled (see below). The output is a text file, which lists the name of files that have duplicates. The file is listed followed by its duplicates.

How to run

FileDedupe is written in Java 8. To run it, call it with the directory or directories to scan for duplicate files Options: -nosubdirs this flag prevents FileDedupe from checking subdirectories for duplicates. -help or -h: shows this usage information
