9 finddup \- Find files common to two directories (or not)
13 \fBfinddup\fP [OPTION]... DIR1 [[not:]DIR2]
17 With a single directory argument, \fBfinddup\fP prints the duplicated
18 files found in it. With two directories, it prints either the files
19 common to both DIR1 and DIR2, or with the `not:' prefix, the ones
20 present in DIR1 and not in DIR2.
28 ignore files and directories starting with a dot
31 do not show which files from DIR2 corresponds to files from DIR1
34 do not show the file group IDs (one group for each content)
37 show progress information in stderr
40 shows the real path of the files
44 None known, probably many. Valgrind does not complain though.
