Description

Software can calculate file differences and generate patches through a reusable diff library.

This package is useful for version-control tools, editors, backup systems, patch utilities, and applications that need to compare or transform file contents. It does not modify files by itself; another program decides whether generated patches are applied.

Patches can change code, configuration, or documents. Review patch sources and targets before applying them.
