       -c, --case-unsensitive
	      this option applies to regex match, -e or -w.

       -d, --display-size
	      display size before duplicates.

       -e, --regex-ignore-file REGEX
	      filenames that match this are ignored.

       -f, --follow-symlink
	      follow symbolic links.

       -T, --image-threshold
	      will change the image  similarity	 threshold  (default  is  [1],
	      accepted	[2/3/4/5]).   [1]  will display only very similar pic‐

       -i, --ignore-list file1,file2,...,filen
	      comma-separated list of file names to ignore.

       -m, --minimal-length size in bytes
	      minimum size of file to process.

       -o, --optimize-memory

	      reported.

       -s, --separator character
	      separator character between twins, default: \n.

       -t, --tar-cmp

       -v, --verbose
	      display a progress indicator.

       -V, --version
	      display version.

       -w, --whitelist-regex-file REGEX
	      filenames that doesn't match this are ignored.

       -x, --excessive-size size in bytes
	      files that exceed this limit won't be read using mmap.

       Try for more info.

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

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