# hardlink
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
> Consolidate duplicate files by replacing them with hard links.
|
||
|
|
> Part of `util-linux`, useful for saving disk space when identical files exist across directories.
|
||
|
|
> More information: <https://manned.org/hardlink>.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
- Perform a dry run without modifying files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hardlink {{[-n|--dry-run]}} {{path/to/directory}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Hardlink duplicate files in a directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hardlink {{path/to/directory}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Hardlink duplicate files in multiple directories:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hardlink {{path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Display verbose output while hardlinking:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hardlink {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{path/to/directory}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Only consider files with a minimum size:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hardlink {{[-s|--minimum-size]}} {{size}} {{path/to/directory}}`
|
