-=========
-
-Name
-----
-pkgdelta - package delta generation utility
-
-
-Synopsis
---------
-'pkgdelta' [options] <package1> <package2>
-
-
-Description
------------
-'pkgdelta' is used to create package delta files between two versions of the
-same package. These files are essentially binary patches. linkman:pacman[8] can
-download deltas instead of full package upgrades, and use them with the
-previous versions of packages (in the package cache) to synthesize the upgraded
-version of the packages. This likely reduces download sizes for upgrades
-significantly.
-
-'pkgdelta' requires linkman:xdelta3[1] to do its job.
-
-
-Options
--------
-*--max-delta-size <ratio>*::
- Only create delta files if the delta is smaller than ratio * package_size.
- Possible values: 0.0 to 2.0.
- Recommended values: 0.2 to 0.9.
- Default value: 0.7
-
-*--min-pkg-size <size>*::
- Minimal size of the package file in bytes to be considered for delta creation.
- Default value: 1048576 bytes = 1 MiB. This may be any absolute size in bytes or
- a human-readable value such as `4MiB` or `3.5MB`.
-
-*-q, \--quiet*::
- Be quiet. Do not output anything but warnings and errors.
