RECOUNTDIFF(1) RECOUNTDIFF(1)
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.
