rdiffdir

RDIFFDIR(1)							   User Manuals 						       RDIFFDIR(1)

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 basis_dir tar_file

       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.
