**Features:**

Finds…

- …Duplicate Files and duplicate directories.

- …Nonstripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols)

- …Broken symbolic links.

- …Empty files and directories.

- …Files with broken user or/and group ID.

**Differences to other duplicate finders:**

- Extremely fast (no exaggeration, we promise!)

- Paranoia mode for those who do not trust hashsums.

- Many output formats.

- No interactivity.

- Search for files only newer than a certain ``mtime``.

- Many ways to handle duplicates.

- Caching and replaying.

- ``btrfs`` support.

- ...

It runs and compiles under most Unices, including Linux, FreeBSD and Darwin.

The main target is Linux though, some optimisations might not be available

elsewhere.
