<h1>diff API</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The diff API is for programs that compare two sets of files (e.g. two
trees, one tree and the index) and present the found difference in
various ways. The calling program is responsible for feeding the API
pairs of files, one from the "old" set and the corresponding one from
"new" set, that are different. The library called through this API is
called diffcore, and is responsible for two things.</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
finding total rewrites (<code>-B</code>), renames (<code>-M</code>) and copies (<code>-C</code>), and
changes that touch a string (<code>-S</code>), as specified by the caller.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
outputting the differences in various formats, as specified by the
caller.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_calling_sequence">Calling sequence</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Prepare <code>struct diff_options</code> to record the set of diff options, and
then call <code>diff_setup()</code> to initialize this structure. This sets up
the vanilla default.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fill in the options structure to specify desired output format, rename
detection, etc. <code>diff_opt_parse()</code> can be used to parse options given
from the command line in a way consistent with existing git-diff
family of programs.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Call <code>diff_setup_done()</code>; this inspects the options set up so far for
internal consistency and make necessary tweaking to it (e.g. if
textual patch output was asked, recursive behaviour is turned on).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
As you find different pairs of files, call <code>diff_change()</code> to feed
modified files, <code>diff_addremove()</code> to feed created or deleted files,
or <code>diff_unmerge()</code> to feed a file whose state is <em>unmerged</em> to the
API. These are thin wrappers to a lower-level <code>diff_queue()</code> function
that is flexible enough to record any of these kinds of changes.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Once you finish feeding the pairs of files, call <code>diffcore_std()</code>.
This will tell the diffcore library to go ahead and do its work.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Calling <code>diff_flush()</code> will produce the output.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>This is the internal representation for a single file (blob). It
records the blob object name (if known — for a work tree file it
typically is a NUL SHA-1), filemode and pathname. This is what the
<code>diff_addremove()</code>, <code>diff_change()</code> and <code>diff_unmerge()</code> synthesize and
feed <code>diff_queue()</code> function with.</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>struct diff_filepair</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This records a pair of <code>struct diff_filespec</code>; the filespec for a file
in the "old" set (i.e. preimage) is called <code>one</code>, and the filespec for a
file in the "new" set (i.e. postimage) is called <code>two</code>. A change that
represents file creation has NULL in <code>one</code>, and file deletion has NULL
in <code>two</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A <code>filepair</code> starts pointing at <code>one</code> and <code>two</code> that are from the same
filename, but <code>diffcore_std()</code> can break pairs and match component
filespecs with other filespecs from a different filepair to form new
filepair. This is called <em>rename detection</em>.</p></div>

<code>flags</code>

<dd>
<p>
Tells the patch output format not to use abbreviated object
names on the "index" lines.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
FIND_COPIES_HARDER
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Tells the diffcore library that the caller is feeding unchanged
filepairs to allow copies from unmodified files be detected.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
COLOR_DIFF
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Output should be colored.
</p>
</dd>

<p>
Do not show any output.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
REVERSE_DIFF
</dt>
<dd>

</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
EXIT_WITH_STATUS
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
