> Find space waste and other broken things on your filesystem.

- Check directories for duplicated, empty and broken files:
`rmlint {{path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2 ...}}`
- Check for space wasters, preferably keeping files in tagged directories (after the double slash):
`rmlint {{path/to/directory}} // {{path/to/original_directory}}`
- Check for space wasters, keeping everything in the untagged directories:
`rmlint --keep-all-untagged {{path/to/directory}} // {{path/to/original_directory}}`
- Delete duplicate files found by an execution of `rmlint`:
`./rmlint.sh`
- Find duplicate directory trees:
`rmlint --merge-directories {{path/to/directory}}`
- Mark files at lower path [d]epth as originals, on tie choose shorter [l]ength:
`rmlint --rank-by={{dl}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find only duplicates that have the same filename in addition to the same contents:
`rmlint --match-basename {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find only duplicates that have the same extension in addition to the same contents:
`rmlint --match-extension {{path/to/directory}}`
