Feature request: compsize --find #46

Description

@Forza-tng

I'd like an option to use compsize to find files with extents matching some criteria and list them.

compsize --find could have the following matches:

  • compression type; e.g zlib, lzo, zstd
  • extents larger than X
  • extends smaller than X
  • average extent size smaller than X
  • average extent size larger than X
  • has at least X shared/deduped extents/blocks
  • has no shared extents
  • has slack larger than X
  • has more than X extents
  • has fewer than X extents
  • files larger than X bytes (kiB, MiB, GiB, ...)
  • files smaller than X bytes
  • files that are inlined in metadata
  • files that are not inlined in metadata
  • files with more than X non-continous extents

It should be possible to combine several matches.

The output can be a table with the path/filename + the chosen matches.

A possibly to sort the output would be great, or have an output format that can be piped to sort.

My initial use-case is to find highly fragmented files so that I can manually defrag them. But also to analyse my files and how they are to determine if I should do some action on them.
