9 pkgdelta - package delta generation utility
14 'pkgdelta' [-q] <package1> <package2>
19 'pkgdelta' is used to create package delta files between two versions of the
20 same package. These files are essentially binary patches. linkman:pacman[8] can
21 download deltas instead of full package upgrades, and use them with the
22 previous versions of packages (in the package cache) to synthesize the upgraded
23 version of the packages. This likely reduces download sizes for upgrades
26 'pkgdelta' requires linkman:xdelta3[1] to do its job.
31 Be quiet. Do not output anything but warnings and errors.
