## About
fdup is a small command-line utility written in C# to quickly and easily find duplicate files. It can also search recursively to find duplicate files in child directories.

## Usage
```bash
$ fdup --help
USAGE:
    fdup [path] [OPTIONS]

ARGUMENTS:
    [path]    The path to search. Defaults to the current directory

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help         Prints help information
    -v, --version      Prints version information
    -r, --recursive    When this flag is set, the directory will be scanned recursively. This may take longer
        --verbose      Enable verbose output
```

## Example
```bash
$ echo "Hello World" > file1
$ echo "Goodbye World" > file2
$ fdup
Searching /home/user/example
Recursive mode is OFF
Checking hash for file2
Checking hash for file1

No duplicates found!
$ echo "Hello World" > file2
$ fdup
Searching /home/user/example
Recursive mode is OFF
