NAME File::ContentStore - A store for file content built with hard links SYNOPSIS use File:::ContentStore; # the 'path' argument is expected to exist my $store = File:::ContentStore->new( path => "$ENV{HOME}/.photo_content" ); $store->link_dir( @collection_of_photo_directories ); DESCRIPTION This module manages a "content store" as a collection of hard links to a set of files. The files in the content store are named after the digest of the content in the file. When linking a new file to the content store, a hard link is created to the file, named after the digest of the content. When a file which content is already in the store is linked in, the file is hard linked to the content file in the store. AUTHOR Philippe Bruhat (BooK) .
