The command you provided is as follows: rdfind -deleteduplicates true -ignoreempty false ${path-to-directory}
This command is likely executed in a Unix-like terminal or shell environment. Explanation: - rdfind
: This is the name of the command or program being executed. RDFind is a utility used to find duplicate files and/or directories. Options: - -deleteduplicates true
: This option instructs RDFind to delete or remove the duplicate files it finds. true
indicates that the duplicates will be deleted. - -ignoreempty false
: This option instructs RDFind to consider empty files as potential duplicates. If set to false
, it means that RDFind will not ignore empty files and will treat them as duplicates. Variables: - ${path-to-directory}
: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory that you want RDFind to search for duplicate files. You should replace ${path-to-directory}
with the actual path. For example, if you want to search for duplicates in the "Documents" directory, you might replace ${path-to-directory}
with /home/user/Documents
. So overall, the command is instructing RDFind to search for duplicate files and directories in the specified ${path-to-directory}
and delete those duplicates while considering empty files as possible duplicates.
