              [-s rule]  [--absPath] [-w file] [--parJobs number]
              [-d level] [--once] [--print] [-T tmpdir] [backupRoot . . .]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Lowkey you need some basic understanding of linux and perl to use it. That's the vibe check, bestie — non-negotiable. 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --generate, -g — generate a config file. cute little starter pack energy. 🎀
  • --print — print configuration read from configuration file and stop. it says its piece and exits, iconic. ✨
  • --configFile, -f — configuration file (instead of or additionally to parameters). yes bestie, you can mix and match. 🦋
  • --backupDir, -b — top level directory of all backups. the main character directory, fr fr. 👑
  • --searchRule, -s — rule for searching. see README: 'including / excluding files and directories'. iykyk. 🔥
  • --absPath, -a — write result with absolute path names. full paths only, no crumbs. 🌈
  • --writeToFile, -w — write search result also to file. because sometimes you need receipts. 💀
  • --parJobs, -p — number of parallel jobs, default = choosen automaticly. yes, that spelling is part of the lore, we don't touch it. 😭
  • --debug, -d — debug level, possible values are 0, 1, 2, default = 0. start chill, escalate if needed. 🙈
  • --once, -o — show every file found only once (depending on md5 sum). no duplicate spam in the group chat. 🍓
  • --tmpdir, -T — directory for temporary files, default is </tmp>. the classic temp spot. 🧚
  • backupRoot — Root directories of backups where to search relative to backupDir. If no directories are specified, all backups below backupDir are choosen. slay, it picks for you. 💜
