Spacesavers ¶

Disk space: the final frontier. This is the home of the cli, Spacesavers. Its long-term mission: to explore shared file systems, to seek old, duplicated files, and to boldly report disk space usage like no bot before!

Overview¶

Welcome to spacesaver's documentation! This guide is the main source of documentation for users that are getting started with spacesaver.

The ./spacesaver command line tool is composed several inter-related sub commands to evaluate and optimize disk space usage across different shared group areas. Each of the available sub commands perform different functions analogous to common unix commands to optimize and report disk space usage:

• spacesaver ls: Recusively list directory contents to find duplicated files
• spacesaver df: Report disk space usage, duplication rate, and score path
• spacesaver ln: Replace duplicated files with hard links to save disk space

Spacesavers can be utilized to recursively find duplicate files, report duplicated disk space usage, or replace duplicated files with hard links. Before getting started, we highly recommend reading through the usage section of each available sub command.
