findd - A command line based program to find and process duplicate files Copyright (C) 2012 Sascha Ochsenknecht The intention was to create a flexible and fast find program with various compare possibilities which can be used on the UNIX/Linux command line. There are a lot of programs which are doing this job, e.g. fdupes from Adrian Lopez which can be found here <http://premium.caribe.net/~adrian2/fdupes.html>. Finally I couldn't find any duplicate finded which fits all of my personal requirements. One reason why I created a new duplicate finder was to learn and practice various BOOST libraries. This program makes extensive use of some of these great C++ libraries. So, this project is a kind of sandbox project for me to test some of the technologies used in BOOST. The BOOST libraries can be found here <http://www.boost.org>. To integrate the BOOST libraries into the autotools tool chain boost.m4 (https://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4) is used. The program is using the md5 library from Peter Deutsch which can be found here <http://libmd5-rfc.sourceforge.net/>. Please read ./INSTALL for detailed installation information. Detailed usage information can be found here: <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/findd/> The findd project also comes with a man page which gives usage information and general examples.
