rdiffdir - compute and apply signatures and diffs to directories SYNOPSIS
rdiffdir [options] sig[nature] basis_dir signature_file rdiffdir [options] delta signature_file new_dir delta_file rdiffdir [options] patch basis_dir delta_file rdiffdir [options] tar basis_dir tar_file If signature_file or delta_file are "-", the data will be read from stdin or written to stdout as appropriate. DESCRIPTION
rdiffdir is supposed to be like rdiff, but can operate on directories. See rdiff(1) for more information. The syntax is similar. OPTIONS
--write-sig-to sigfile This option is only used in delta and tar modes. When specified, rdiffdir will write a signature of the directory it is processing to sigfile. The end result will be a delta and a new signature calculated over the same data. -z, --gzip-compress Enable gzip compression and decompression of signature and delta files. SELECTION OPTIONS
In signature and delta modes, rdiffdir accepts duplicity-like selection options including --exclude, --exclude-filelist-stdin, etc. See the duplicity(1) manual page for more information. BUGS
Hard links are currently unsupported (they will be treated as non-linked regular files). Bad signatures will be treated as empty instead of logging appropriate error message. AUTHOR

RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1) General Commands Manual RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1) NAME
rdiff-backup-fs - Filesystem for accessing rdiff-backup archives. SYNOPSIS
rdiff-backup-fs <mount_point> <repository> [repositories ...] [-option ...] DESCRIPTION
rdiff-backup-fs is a filesystem in userspace that reads rdiff-backup archives and provides convenient access. OPTIONS
--debug <0-4> Run rdiff-backup-fs in foreground with given verbosity of debug messages. -f, --full Store information about all revisions in memory. CAUTION: this may take a lot of memory if your archive contains many revisions. -l, --last Displays files from the most recent increment as directories, each holding every version of the file. CAUTION: this stores informa- tion about all revisions in memory and therefore may take a lot of memory if archive contains many revisions. -c <n>, --caching <n> How many files retrieved from the rdiff-backup archive may be cached by filesystem. By default rdiff-backup-fs will cache up to 10 files. If this switch is set to 0, no caching will be done. -r <n>, --revisions <n> How many revisions should be stored in memory for on demand revision retrieval. By default rdiff-backup-fs will store up to 10 revi- sions in memory. -d, --directory <path> Set directory for directory with temporary files. By default rdiff-backup-fs uses /tmp. -v, --version Print version of rdiff-backup-fs and exit. SEE ALSO
