NAME

       symilar - tool for checking similarities in different files

SYNOPSIS

       symilar [ options ] [ <files> ]

DESCRIPTION

       symilar  is  a  tool for searching blocks of identical lines in different files. It can be
       used to find copy pasted blocks of code, or stuff that could be  refactored.   Differences
       concerning  only  stuff  behind  a  '#'  (Python  comments)  can  be ignored.  The size of
       identical blocks can be optionally modified.  symilar ´s functionality  is  integrated  in
       pylint with the refactoring message 'R0801'.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show help message and exit

       -d <min_duplicated_lines>, --duplicates <min_duplicated_lines>
              minimum  number  of  identical  lines  that  should  trigger  a similarity message.
              Default is 4. So if it finds 3 identical lines, there will be  no  message,  but  4
              identical lines will be mentionned.

       -i, --ignore-comments
              ignore differences concerning only stuff behind a '#' (Python comments). This means
              that if just a comment was added, the message will still be triggered.
