NAME
App::DuplicateFilesUtils - CLI utilities related to duplicate files
VERSION
This document describes version 0.005 of App::DuplicateFilesUtils (from Perl distribution App-DuplicateFilesUtils), released on 2022-08-19.
DESCRIPTION
This distributions provides the following command-line utilities:
FUNCTIONS
move_duplicate_files_to
Usage:
move_duplicate_files_to(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]Move duplicate files (except one copy) to a directory.
This utility will find all duplicate sets of files and move all of the duplicates (except one) for each set to a directory of your choosing.
See also: show-duplicate-files which lets you manually select which copies of the duplicate sets you want to move/delete.
This function is not exported.
This function supports dry-run operation.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
dir* => dirname
Directory to move duplicate files into.
Special arguments:
-dry_run => bool
Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
show_duplicate_files
Usage:
show_duplicate_files() -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]Show duplicate files.
This is actually a shortcut for:
% uniq-files -a --show-count --show-size --group-by-digest -R .Sample output:
% show-duplicate-files

+------------------------------+---------+-------+You can then delete or move the duplicates manually, if you want. But there's also move-duplicate-files-to to automatically move all the duplicates (but one, for each set) to a directory of your choice.
To perform other actions on the duplicate copies, for example delete them, you can use uniq-files directly e.g. (in bash):
% uniq-files -R -D * | while read f; do rm "$p"; doneThis function is not exported.
No arguments.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -lIf you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
