rmlint: Find all duplicates with the same extension.
$ rmlint --match-extension ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The command "rmlint --match-extension ${path-to-directory}" is used to run the rmlint command-line tool with the specified options and directory path.
- "rmlint" is the name of the command-line tool.
- "--match-extension" is an option or flag used to specify that you want to match files based on their file extension.
- "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to perform the rmlint operation on.
By running this command, rmlint will search for files in the specified directory and its subdirectories, and it will consider only the files that have a matching file extension. The specific rules for matching file extensions may vary depending on how rmlint is implemented.
The purpose of rmlint is usually to find and remove duplicate or unnecessary files in a directory hierarchy, helping to free up storage space and improve file organization.
