+freedups.
+---------
+
+Freedups searches through the directories you specify. When it finds two
+identical files, it hard links them together. Now the two or more files still
+exist in their respective directories, but only one copy of the data is stored
+on disk; both directory entries point to the same data blocks.

+
+dupmerge.
+---------
+
+Dupmerge reads a list of files from standard input (eg., as produced by "find .
+-print") and looks for identical files. When it finds two or more identical
+files, all but one are unlinked to reclaim the disk space and recreated as hard
+links to the remaining copy.

+ssdeep.
+-------
+
+ssdeep is a program for computing context triggered piecewise hashes (CTPH).
+Also called fuzzy hashes, CTPH can match inputs that have homologies. Such
+inputs have sequences of identical bytes in the same order, although bytes in
+between these sequences may be different in both content and length.
