✨ DUP-INIT(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to dup-init — it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood system, and it's about to be your new fave little command, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dup-init — initialize a dedup repository 🗂️✨

like, it makes the repo. that's the whole vibe. she's an init girlie.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dup-init [-v] [-E algo] [-Z algo] [-k keyfile] [repo]

look at her. so compact. so iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

dup-init initializes a dedup repository 🫶

and if you don't pass a repo at all? no stress, babe — the current working directory is used. she just assumes you mean "here". main character energy honestly 😭

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -E algo — the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the blocks in the store 🔐 The supported encryption algorithms are none and XChaCha20-Poly1305. By default none is used. (yes bestie, default is no encryption — pick your fighter wisely 💀)
  • -Z algo — the compressor algorithm used to compress the blocks in the store 🗜️ The supported compressor algorithms are none, snappy and lz4. By default snappy is used. she's snappy by default, literally 💅
  • -k keyfile — path to encryption key 🔑 like, where your key lives. that's it. that's the option.
  • -v — enable verbose mode 🗣️ she'll tell you what she's doing. talkative queen.

💡 quick vibe check: -E controls encryption, -Z controls compression, -k points at your key, -v makes her chatty. don't mix 'em up, iykyk 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie 🍓 this lil gem came from the Debian build of the manual, dated May 20, 2019 — so yeah, she's serving vintage but she's still slaying 💜✨ periodt.
