Filtering

rsdedup provides several ways to control which files are considered.

Include / Exclude globs

Use --include and --exclude to filter files by glob pattern. Both flags can be repeated.

# Only scan image files
rsdedup dedup report --include '*.jpg' --include '*.png'

# Skip log files and git directories
rsdedup dedup report --exclude '*.log' --exclude '.git/**'

Patterns are matched against both the filename and the full path.

When --include is specified, only files matching at least one include pattern are considered. When --exclude is specified, files matching any exclude pattern are skipped. If both are specified, exclude takes priority.

File size filters

# Only consider files larger than 1MB
rsdedup dedup report --min-size 1048576

# Only consider files smaller than 100MB
rsdedup dedup report --max-size 104857600

# Combine both
rsdedup dedup report --min-size 1024 --max-size 104857600

Recursion

By default, rsdedup recurses into subdirectories. Use --no-recursive to scan only the top-level directory:

rsdedup dedup report --no-recursive /data

By default, symbolic links are not followed. Use --follow-symlinks to follow them:

rsdedup dedup report --follow-symlinks /data
