NAME Diff::LibXDiff - Calculate a diff with LibXDiff (via XS) VERSION Version 0.05 SYNOPSIS use Diff::LibXDiff; my $string1 = <<_END_ apple banana cherry _END_ my $string2 = <<_END_ apple grape cherry lime _END_ my $diff = Diff::LibXDiff->diff( $string1, $string2 ) my $bin_diff = Diff::LibXDiff->bdiff( $bin_string1, $bin_string2 ) # $diff is ... @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ apple -banana +grape cherry +lime DESCRIPTION Diff::LibXDiff is a binding of LibXDiff (<http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html>) to Perl via XS LibXDiff is the basis of the diff engine for git METHODS $diff = Diff::LibXDiff->diff( $string1, $string2 ) Calculate the textual diff of $string1 and $string2 and return the result as a string $patched = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch ) ( $patched, $rejected ) = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch ) Calculate the patched string given an original string and a patch string If the patching algorithm cannot place a hunk, it will return a second "rejected" result (if called in list context) $bdiff = Diff::LibXDiff->bdiff( $bin1, $bin2 ) Calculate the binary diff of $bin1 and $bin2 and return result as a string $bpatched = Diff::LibXDiff->bpatch( $original, $patch ) Calculate the patched binary given an original string and a patch string AUTHOR Robert Krimen, "<rkrimen at cpan.org>" SEE ALSO <http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html> Algorithm::Diff BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-diff-libxdiff at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Diff-LibXDiff>.
