NAME

6       recountdiff - recompute patch counts and offsets
7

SYNOPSIS

9       recountdiff [file...]
10
11       recountdiff {[--help] [--version]}
12

DESCRIPTION

14       recountdiff recomputes the counts and offsets in unified context diffs.
15       It does this in two passes: first the counts are corrected by
16       inspection of the actual patch lines, and then the offsets are adjusted
17       according to the computed counts.
18
19       The corrected diff is sent to standard output.
20

OPTIONS

22       --help Display a short usage message.
23
24       --version
25              Display the version number of recountdiff.
26

LIMITATIONS

28       There are some things that cannot be dealt with. If you have removed
29       the first context line in a hunk, for example, there is no way for
30       recountdiff to know that. For more precise fixing up, use rediff(1),
31       which uses the original and modified diffs.
