liten 0.1.6

Size:

Search by size using –size or -s option:

liten.py -s 1 /mnt/raid         is equal to liten.py -s 1MB /mnt/raid
liten.py -s 1bytes /mnt/raid
liten.py -s 1KB /mnt/raid
liten.py -s 1MB /mnt/raid
liten.py -s 1GB /mnt/raid
liten.py c:\in d:\              is equal to liten.py -s 1MB c:\in d:\

Report Location:

Generate custom report path using -r or –report=/tmp/report.txt:

./liten.py --report=/tmp/test.txt /Users/ngift/Documents

By default a report will be created in CWD, called LitenDuplicateReport.csv

Config File:

You can use a config file in the following format:

[Options]
path=/tmp
size=1MB
pattern=*.m4v
delete=True

You can call the config file anything and place it anywhere.

Here is an example usage:

./liten.py --config=myconfig.ini

Verbosity:

All stdout can be suppressed by using –quiet or -q.

Delete:

By using –delete the duplicate files will be automatically deleted. The API has support for an interactive mode and a dry-run mode, they have not been implemented in the CLI as of yet.

Example Library/API Usage:

>>> Liten = Liten(spath='testData')
>>> dupeFileOne = 'testData/testDocOne.txt'
>>> checksumOne = Liten.createChecksum(dupeFileOne)
>>> dupeFileTwo = 'testData/testDocTwo.txt'
>>> checksumTwo = Liten.createChecksum(dupeFileTwo)
>>> nonDupeFile = 'testData/testDocThree_wrong_match.txt'
>>> checksumThree = Liten.createChecksum(nonDupeFile)
>>> checksumOne == checksumTwo
True
>>> checksumOne == checksumThree
False

There is also the concept of an Action, which can be implemented later, that will allow customizable actions to occur upon an a condition that gets defined as you walk down a tree of files.

Tests:

• Run Doctests: ./liten -t or –test

• Run test_liten.py

• Run test_create_file.py then delete those test files using liten::

  python2.5 liten.py –delete /tmp

Stdout:

stdout will show you duplicate file paths and sizes such as:

Printing dups over 1 MB using md5 checksum: [SIZE] [ORIG] [DUP]
7 MB  Orig:  /Users/ngift/Downloads/bzr-0-2.17.tar
Dupe:  /Users/ngift/Downloads/bzr-0-4.17.tar

Report:

A report named LitenDuplicateReport.csv will be created in your current working directory:

Duplicate Version,     Path,       Size,       ModDate
Original, /Users/ngift/Downloads/bzr-0-2.17.tar, 7 MB, 07/10/2007 01:43:12 AM
Duplicate, /Users/ngift/Downloads/bzr-0-3.17.tar, 7 MB, 07/10/2007 01:43:27 AM
