Introduction

fidx (file indexer) is a tool for indexing file archives.

The primary goal of this tool is to assist in maintaining list of hashes for files in backup archives, but in addition it can tag files and deduplicate files based on their hash.

Known limitations

• Only supports unicode compliant pathnames (non-complient file system entries are skipped).
• Deduplication is currently unimplemented, though the tool can report duplicates.
• Unsure if deduplication will be supported on Windows.
