Duplicate File Manager 

    gem install dfm

 

The purpose of dfm is to locate duplicate files through a recursive search. 

 

You can create an instance of the DFM object with optionally specifying the 

directory path and the file extensions.

 

    dfm = DFM.new( path: './', filters: ["jpg","png"] ) 

 

If you are using a ruby version before 2 then this would be: 

 

    dfm = DFM.new( { :path => './', :filters => ["jpg","png"] } ) 

Or you can use the default behaviour which uses the current directory and searches

all files.

    dfm = DFM.new

 

Then you may get a hash of the MD5 hexdigest matches (indicating files with

identical content) by 

 

    dfm.hex 

 

And by duplicate file name by 

 

    dfm.name 

 

Either of these can be called with false if you want only single instances of files. 

 

    dfm.hex( false ) 

    dfm.name( false ) 

 

--- 

 

Also included is a command line version which outputs nicely formatted JSON in case 

you would like to use it with anything else.  Type `dfm -h` on the command line to get 

a list of available options.  Running `dfm` by itself will recursively search the current 

folder for all duplicates by both file name and MD5 hexdigest indexes.
