The librsync library implements network delta-compression of streams and
|
|
files. The algorithm is similar to that used in the rsync(1) and xdelta(2)
|
|
programs, but specialized for transfer of arbitrary-length octet streams.
|
|
Unlike most diff programs, librsync does not require access to both of the
|
|
files on the same machine, but rather only a short ``signature'' of the
|
|
old file and the complete contents of the new file.
