DESCRIPTION

40       Diff::LibXDiff is a binding of LibXDiff
41       (<http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html>) to Perl via XS
42
43       LibXDiff is the basis of the diff engine for git
44

METHODS

46   $diff = Diff::LibXDiff->diff( $string1, $string2 )
47       Calculate the textual diff of $string1 and $string2 and return the
48       result as a string
49
50   $patched = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch )
51   ( $patched, $rejected ) = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch )
52       Calculate the patched string given an original string and a patch
53       string
54
55       If the patching algorithm cannot place a hunk, it will return a second
56       "rejected" result (if called in list context)
57
58   $bdiff = Diff::LibXDiff->bdiff( $bin1, $bin2 )
59       Calculate the binary diff of $bin1 and $bin2 and return result as a
60       string
61
62   $bpatched = Diff::LibXDiff->bpatch( $original, $patch )
63       Calculate the patched binary given an original string and a patch
64       string
