 # Commands
 
+## dups
+
+building a document of file checksum info, for a directory tree. Optionally
+deduplicate the tree using hardlinks.
+
+### Install
+
+	go get github.com/vbatts/freezing-octo-hipster/cmd/dups
+
+### Usage
+
+	$ dups -h
+	Usage of dups:
+	  -H=false: hardlink the duplicate files
+	  -l="": load existing map from file
+	  -q=false: less output
+	  -s="hash-map.json": file to save map of file hashes to
+
+By default it scans the paths provided, and creates a JSON document of the file paths and their checksum:

+With the `-H` flag, as duplicate files are found (files with matching checksum)
+are encountered, hardlink it to the duplicate file.
