NAME
       recountdiff - recompute patch counts and offsets

SYNOPSIS
       recountdiff [file...]

       recountdiff {--help | --version}


DESCRIPTION
       recountdiff  recomputes	the  counts  and  offsets  in unified context
       diffs. It does this in two passes: first the counts are	corrected  by
       inspection of the actual patch lines, and then the offsets are adjust-
       ed according to the computed counts.


       The corrected diff is sent to standard output.


OPTIONS
       --help Display a short usage message.


       --version
	      Display the version number of recountdiff.


LIMITATIONS
       There are some things that cannot be dealt with. If you	have  removed
       the first context line in a hunk, for example, there is no way for re-
       countdiff to know that. For more precise	 fixing	 up,  use  rediff(1),
       which uses the original and modified diffs.
