NAME
       highlnk - High-Performance hardlinking tool

SYNOPSIS
       highlnk target_directory

DESCRIPTION
       HighLnk	is  a  high-performance	hardlinking tool, which	takes the con-
       tents of	the current directory, and  hard-links	files  with  different
       content	to  the	target directory. Files	with same content will also be
       hard-linked but in a way	that storage space is saved.  This  is	useful
       if  you have many files on a read-only partition, or if you plan	to put
       many files on a CD/DVD, but the whole tree is just too big  to  fit  on
       the  media. HighLnk can help mkisofs(8) by supplying hard-links to same
       content,	saving space on	the media.

PARAMETERS
       target_directory
	      This is the location where the resulting tree will  be  put.  It
	      MUST  be	on the same drive/partition as the current dir,	other-
	      wise it won't work.
