You can then delete or move the duplicates manually, if you want. But there's
also <prog: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 <prog:uniq-files> directly e.g. (in bash):
% uniq-files -R -D * | while read f; do rm "$p"; done

=head1 NAME
App::DuplicateFilesUtils - CLI utilities related to duplicate files
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.005 of App::DuplicateFilesUtils (from Perl distribution App-DuplicateFilesUtils), released on 2022-08-19.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This distributions provides the following command-line utilities:
=over
=item * L<move-duplicate-files-to>
=item * L<show-duplicate-files>
=back
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 move_duplicate_files_to
Usage:
move_duplicate_files_to(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Move duplicate files (except one copy) to a directory.
This utility will find all duplicate sets of files and move all of the
duplicates (except one) for each set to a directory of your choosing.
See also: L<show-duplicate-files> which lets you manually select which
copies of the duplicate sets you want to move/delete.
This function is not exported.
This function supports dry-run operation.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
=over 4
=item * B<dir>* => I<dirname>
Directory to move duplicate files into.
=back
Special arguments:
=over 4
=item * B<-dry_run> => I<bool>
Pass -dry_run=E<gt>1 to enable simulation mode.
=back
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($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 ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth
element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
=head2 show_duplicate_files
Usage:
show_duplicate_files() -> [$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

=head1 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 -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<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.

=head1 BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website L<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=App-DuplicateFilesUtils>
When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a
patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired
feature.
