xdiff extension enables you to create and apply patch files containing
|
|
differences between different revisions of files.

This extension supports two modes of operation - on strings and on files, as well
|
|
as two different patch formats - unified and binary. Unified patches are excellent
|
|
for text files as they are human-readable and easy to review. For binary files like
|
|
archives or images, binary patches will be adequate choice as they are binary safe and
|
|
handle non-printable characters well.

Starting from version 1.5.0 there are two different sets of functions for generating
|
|
binary patches. New functions - <function>xdiff_string_rabdiff</function> and
|
|
<function>xdiff_file_rabdiff</function> generate output compatible with older functions
|
|
but are typically faster and generate smaller results. For more details about methods of
|
|
generating binary patches and differences between them, please check

This extension uses libxdiff to implement these functions. Please see
