NAME
rdiffdir - compute and apply signatures and diffs to directories
SYNOPSIS
rdiffdir
[options]
sig[nature]
basis_dir signature_file
rdiffdir
[options]
delta
signature_file new_dir delta_file
rdiffdir
[options]
patch
basis_dir delta_file
rdiffdir
[options]
tar

If
signature_file
or
delta_file
are "-", the data will be read from stdin or written to stdout as appropriate.
DESCRIPTION
rdiffdir
is supposed to be like rdiff, but can operate on directories. See
rdiff(1)
for more information. The syntax is similar.
OPTIONS
- --write-sig-to sigfile
-
This option is only used in
delta
and
tar
modes. When specified, rdiffdir will write a signature of the
directory it is processing to sigfile. The end result will be a delta
and a new signature calculated over the
same
data.
- -z, --gzip-compress
-
Enable gzip compression and decompression of signature and delta
files.
SELECTION OPTIONS
In
signature
and
delta
modes, rdiffdir accepts
duplicity-like
selection options including --exclude, --exclude-filelist-stdin, etc.
See the
duplicity(1)
manual page for more information.
BUGS
Hard links are currently unsupported (they will be treated as
non-linked regular files).
Bad signatures will be treated as empty instead of logging appropriate
error message.
