This manual page documents \fBhardlink\fR, a
program which consolidates duplicate files in one or more directories
using hardlinks.

\fBhardlink\fR traverses one
or more directories searching for duplicate files. When it finds duplicate
files, it uses one of them as the master. It then removes all other
duplicates and places a hardlink for each one pointing to the master file.
This allows for conservation of disk space where multiple directories
on a single filesystem contain many duplicate files.

Since hard links can only span a single filesystem, \fBhardlink\fR
