== 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.
