Features:

Finds…

• …Duplicate Files and duplicate directories.
• …Nonstripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols)
• …Broken symbolic links.
• …Empty files and directories.
• …Files with broken user or/and group ID.

Differences to other duplicate finders:

• Extremely fast (no exaggeration, we promise!)
• Paranoia mode for those who do not trust hashsums.
• Many output formats.
• No interactivity.
• Search for files only newer than a certain mtime.
• Many ways to handle duplicates.
• Caching and replaying.
• btrfs support.
• ...

It runs and compiles under most Unices, including Linux, FreeBSD and Darwin. The main target is Linux though, some optimisations might not be available elsewhere.
