EXAMPLES
       The  following  command	line  will  report  duplicate  pictures, using
       libpuzzle (-I) whose sizes are greater than 8192	 bytes	(  -m  8192  )
       found recursively (-r) starting in your home directory.

       $ ftwin -m 8192 -v -r -I	${HOME}

       This line will report duplicate files (no more in "image	mode", but ac-
       cording to their	content) whose extension is .txt and that are not in a
       .svn directory:

       $ ftwin -e ".*/\.svn/.*"	-w ".*\.txt$" -v -r ${HOME}
