Luminous Synchronize

A fast and reliable alternative to rsync for synchronizing local files

Features

Usage

```bash USAGE: lms [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS: cp Multithreaded directory copy help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) rm Multithreaded directory remove sync Multithreaded directory synchronization [aliases: s] ```

Sync

```bash USAGE: lms sync [FLAGS]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -n, --nodelete Do not delete any destination files -s, --secure Use a cryptographic hash function for hashing similar files -S, --sequential Copy files sequentially instead of in parallel -V, --version Prints version information -v, --verbose Verbose outputs

ARGS: Source directory Destination directory ```

Copy

```bash USAGE: lms cp [FLAGS]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -S, --sequential Copy files sequentially instead of in parallel -V, --version Prints version information -v, --verbose Verbose outputs

ARGS: Source directory Destination directory ```

Remove

```bash USAGE: lms rm [FLAGS] ...

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -S, --sequential Delete files sequentially instead of in parallel -V, --version Prints version information -v, --verbose Verbose outputs

ARGS: Target directory ```

Benchmarks

Using hyperfine on an Intel i7-8550U with the following 2 test folders,

| Directory | Directory Size | Number of Files | | --------- | -------------- | --------------- | | 1 | 88MB | 7262 | | 2 | 105MB | 252 |

| Command | Directory | Time | | ---------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- | | lms sync | 1 | 179.1 ms ± 5.1 ms | | rsync -r --delete | 1 | 717.8 ms ± 41.1 ms | | lms cp | 1 | 117.3 ms ± 3.6 ms | | cp -r | 1 | 283.4 ms ± 13.2 ms | | lms rm | 1 | 147.6 ms ± 8.6 ms | | rm -rf | 1 | 180.7 ms ± 4.3 ms | | ---------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- | | lms sync | 2 | 101.2 ms ± 24.8 ms | | rsync -r --delete | 2 | 442.2 ms ± 19.6 ms | | lms cp | 2 | 33.8 ms ± 2.8 ms | | cp -r | 2 | 143.5 ms ± 18.8 ms | | lms rm | 2 | 10.0 ms ± 2.8 ms | | rm -rf | 2 | 27.4 ms ± 0.8 ms |

Of course, these benchmarks can be highly dependent on CPU and IO devices.
