unison: unison (file-synchronization tool) unison: unison: Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows unison: two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on unison: different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified unison: separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in unison: each replica to the other. Unison shares a number of features with unison: tools such as configuration management packages (CVS, PRCS, unison: Subversion, BitKeeper, etc.), distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.), unison: uni-directional mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.), and other unison: synchronizers (Intellisync, Reconcile, etc).
