Description

Duplicate file contents can be stored once and replaced with hardlinks to reduce wasted disk space. This is useful for controlled archives or folders where many files are identical.

The tool changes file layout and uses hashes plus hardlinks, so mistakes can affect real data. Use backups, test on a small folder first, and avoid paths where hardlink behavior would confuse other applications.
