!Deprecated!
This package is deprecated in favor of @gcas/rdiff.
Native librsync binding for NodeJS.
Initially based on the node-rdiff package.
Platforms supported
- Linux (x64): YES
- Windows (x64): YES
- MacOS: Not yet, planned (should not be hard to add).
Example
The synchronous api (*Sync functions):
var a = "a.txt"; // Contains "hello".
var b = "b.txt"; // Contains "hello world".
// Compute difference from `a` to `b`.
rdiff.signatureSync(a, `${a}.sig`);
rdiff.deltaSync(`${a}.sig`, b, `${a}.delta`);
// Patch `a` so that it becomes equal to `b`.
rdiff.patchSync(a, `${a}.delta`, `${a}.patched`);The callback async api:
rdiff.signature(a, `${a}.sig`, function (err) {
rdiff.delta(`${a}.sig`, b, `${a}.delta`, function (err) {
rdiff.patch(a, `${a}.delta`, `${a}.patched`, function (error) {
if (error) {
return console.error(error);
}
// File `a.patched` now equals `b`.
});
});
});The promise async api (*Async functions, recommended):
await rdiff.signatureAsync(a, `${a}.sig`);
await rdiff.deltaAsync(`${a}.sig`, b, `${a}.delta`);
await rdiff.patchAsync(a, `${a}.delta`, `${a}.patched`);
// `a` should equal `a.patched`
