Crate bsdiff

Bsdiff is a method of diffing files. This crate has been ported from C code. The original code and more info can be found here.

It is usually a good idea to use bsdiff alongside a compression algorithm like bzip2.

Examples

use std::io::Cursor;

let one = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let two = vec![1, 2, 4, 6];
let mut cursor = Cursor::new(Vec::new());

diff::diff(&one, &two, &mut cursor).unwrap();
cursor.set_position(0);

let mut patched = vec![0; two.len()];
patch::patch(&one, &mut cursor, &mut patched).unwrap();
assert_eq!(patched, two);
