# Dexy

Dexy is a command line utility for recursively generating sha256 hashes of all files in a directory.

Dexy will output aJSON file containing the hashes of all files that were found, note that on slower media such as hard drives the scan may take quite some time. 

If there are multiple files that have the same hash, they will be grouped together in a single entry

## Example Usage

```bash

    cargo run --release -- --ignore-empty --load-file-attributes --name docs /home/$USER/Documents

```

## Example Output

```json

{

  "3e155b0d8756c752021b64e8d39ac7d73dd9e451e55bdfc70d231af773c3b813": [

    {

      "hash": "3e155b0d8756c752021b64e8d39ac7d73dd9e451e55bdfc70d231af773c3b813",

      "path": "/home/josiah/Documents/rust-chat-app/target/doc/itertools/structs/struct.PadUsing.html",

      "attributes": {

        "size": 405813,

        "created_date": 1639433284,

        "accessed_date": 1650427097,

        "edit_date": 1639433284,

        "file_type": "File"

      }

    }

  ],

 }

```

## Full Avaiable Options

```

USAGE:

    dexy [OPTIONS] ...

ARGS:

    ...    List of directories to scan

OPTIONS:

    -h, --help

            Print help information

    -i, --ignore-empty

            Whether empty files (e.g. files with 0 bytes) should be ignored. This is primarily

            useful for avoiding many ""duplicate"" empty files

        --include-hidden

            By default the program will exclude hidden files/folders, this will force it to include

            them

    -l, --load-file-attributes

            Output size and other file information with the scan, note this makes an extra request

            to the underlying system, so may add some time to the inital scan

    -n, --name 

            Name of the scan, this will be used to name the output files [default: dexy]

    -o, --out 

            Output Directory [default: ./]

    -t, --thread-count 

            Number of threads to process default = number of cores [default: 16]

    -V, --version

            Print version information
