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. 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 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 = 1MiB. This may be
	   any absolute size in bytes, or a human readable value such as 4 MiB
	   or 3.5MB.

       -q, --quiet
	   Be quiet. Do not output anything but warnings and errors.

EXAMPLES
	   $ pkgdelta libreoffice-3.3.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libreoffice-3.3.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
