Hi GNU team, First, thanks for providing excellent software.
I am running some code to identify duplicate files within a user filesystem. This proved to be a somewhat challenging task as it was not immediately obvious how the use of the du command would meet my needs. I eventually found that this worked : du -ab ~/<directory> where <directory> contained possibly duplicated files. To compare the content of more than one directory I needed the complete filepath to uniquely identify files. Here's my question : can I rely on this feature to continue into the indefinite future? Or more importantly, can I get some notification of a change before I find out the hard way? Thanks in anticipation, Richard
