NAME
     highlnk - High-Performance hardlinking tool

SYNOPSIS
     highlnk target_directory

DESCRIPTION
     HighLnk is a high-performance hardlinking tool, which takes the contents 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  mk-
     isofs(8)  by  supplying hard-links to same content, saving space on the me-
     dia.

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, otherwise it
	    won't work.

SEE ALSO
     README file included in the source package (VERY INFORMATIVE)
