+== NAME
+
+duplicate_finder - find duplicate files
+
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+**duplicate_finder** [[*OPTION*]... directory]
+
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+duplicate_finder scans a given path and its subdirectories creating a database with information about found files.
+The information consists of the common information gained via stat from the filesystem, but files are also read
+and processed to get hashes with different algorithms provided by OpenSSL. When a scan happens information about
+which directories and files have been processed are stored in a gdbm key-value storage making interruptions easier
+to handle.
+
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+**--help**, **-h**::
+    Show this message and exit
+
+**--quiet**, **-q**::
+Suppress error and warning messages.
+
+**--show-hidden-entries**, **-s**::
+Show hidden entries in the directory
+
+
+== EXAMPLES
+
+duplicate_finder --show-hidden /tmp
