NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       rdiffdir [options] sig[nature] basis_dir signature_file
10
11       rdiffdir [options] delta signature_file new_dir delta_file
12
13       rdiffdir [options] patch basis_dir delta_file
14
15       rdiffdir [options] tar basis_dir tar_file

DESCRIPTION

22       rdiffdir is supposed to be like rdiff, but can operate on  directories.
23       See rdiff(1) for more information.  The syntax is similar.

OPTIONS

27       --write-sig-to sigfile
28              This  option  is  only used in delta and tar modes.  When speci‐
29              fied, rdiffdir will write a signature of  the  directory  it  is
30              processing to sigfile.  The end result will be a delta and a new
31              signature calculated over the same data.
32
33
34       -z, --gzip-compress
35              Enable gzip compression and decompression of signature and delta
36              files.

SELECTION OPTIONS

40       In signature and delta modes, rdiffdir accepts duplicity-like selection
41       options including --exclude, --exclude-filelist-stdin,  etc.   See  the
42       duplicity(1) manual page for more information.

BUGS

46       Hard  links  are  currently  unsupported  (they will be treated as non-
47       linked regular files).
48
49       Bad signatures will be treated as empty instead of logging  appropriate
50       error message.
