Grand Total

Understanding -t and --total

The behavior of -t or --total is contingent on the other flags and options it's composed with.

Instead of viewing -t as a flag that displays the total number of duplications found, it's more accurate to perceive -t as an optionn that sums up the final results displayed by Klassco's output.

For instance:

  • klassco -t src outputs the total number of duplicates within src.

  • klassco -t -g src outputs the total number of common duplicates within src.

  • klassco -t -s src outputs the total number of unique duplicates within src.

These are just basic examples. The key takeaway is that Klassco provides composable flags, which adapt and change based on how you compose them.

In the current version of Klassco, using -t is more verbose as it also displays other results, not just the total sum. If you prefer to only see the total sum and use --verbose when needed, please check the dev branch to start using these options.
