These changes +(deltas) are similar to the output of the "diff" program in that they may be +used to store and transmit only the changes between files. However, unlike +diff(1), the output of xdelta is not expressed in a human-readable format. + +Xdelta uses a fast, linear algorithm and performs well on both binary and +text files. |
