## Synopsis

|
|
|
Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares
|
|
|
|
|
sizes and hashes (MD5 or SHA1) and logs a report of files which don't
|
|
|
|
|
match. It doesn't alter the source or destination.

|
|
|
|
2021-02-02 13:42:35 +00:00
|
|
|
If you supply the `--size-only` flag, it will only compare the sizes not
|
2017-03-18 11:16:43 +00:00
|
|
|
the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-02-02 13:42:35 +00:00
|
|
|
If you supply the `--download` flag, it will download the data from
|
2017-03-18 11:16:43 +00:00
|
|
|
both remotes and check them against each other on the fly. This can
|
|
|
|
|
be useful for remotes that don't support hashes or if you really want
|
|
|
|
|
to check all the data.

|
|
|
|
2020-09-02 15:59:04 +00:00
|
|
|
If you supply the `--one-way` flag, it will only check that files in
|
|
|
|
|
the source match the files in the destination, not the other way
|
|
|
|
|
around. This means that extra files in the destination that are not in
|
|
|
|
|
the source will not be detected.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The `--differ`, `--missing-on-dst`, `--missing-on-src`, `--match`
|
2020-09-02 15:59:04 +00:00
|
|
|
and `--error` flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or
|
|
|
|
|
stdout if it is `-`) supplied. What they write is described in the
|
|
|
|
|
help below. For example `--differ` will write all paths which are
|
|
|
|
|
present on both the source and destination but different.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `--combined` flag will write a file (or stdout) which contains all
|
|
|
|
|
file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path to tell
|
|
|
|
|
you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `= path` means path was found in source and destination and was identical
|
|
|
|
|
- `- path` means path was missing on the source, so only in the destination
|
|
|
|
|
- `+ path` means path was missing on the destination, so only in the source
|
|
|
|
|
- `* path` means path was present in source and destination but different.
|
|
|
|
|
- `! path` means there was an error reading or hashing the source or dest.
