     -w, --whitelist-regex-file REGEX

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 accord-
     ing  to  their  content) whose extension is .txt and that are not in a .svn
     directory:

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