Class BinaryDelta

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.pack.BinaryDelta

public class BinaryDelta
extends Object

Recreate a stream from a base stream and a GIT pack delta.

This entire class is heavily cribbed from patch-delta.c in the GIT project. The original delta patching code was written by Nicolas Pitre (<nico@cam.org>).

Method Detail

getBaseSize

public static long getBaseSize(byte[] delta)

Length of the base object in the delta stream.

Parameters:

delta - the delta stream, or at least the header of it.

Returns:

the base object's size.

getResultSize

public static long getResultSize(byte[] delta)

Length of the resulting object in the delta stream.

Parameters:

delta - the delta stream, or at least the header of it.

Returns:

the resulting object's size.

apply

public static final byte[] apply(byte[] base,
           byte[] delta)

Apply the changes defined by delta to the data in base, yielding a new array of bytes.

Parameters:

base - some byte representing an object of some kind.

delta - a git pack delta defining the transform from one version to another.

Returns:

patched base

apply

public static final byte[] apply(byte[] base,
           byte[] delta,
           byte[] result)

Apply the changes defined by delta to the data in base, yielding a new array of bytes.

Parameters:

base - some byte representing an object of some kind.

delta - a git pack delta defining the transform from one version to another.

result - array to store the result into. If null the result will be allocated and returned.

Returns:

either result, or the result array allocated.

format

public static String format(byte[] delta)

Format this delta as a human readable string.

Parameters:

delta - the delta instruction sequence to format.

Returns:

the formatted delta.

format

public static String format(byte[] delta,
            boolean includeHeader)

Format this delta as a human readable string.

Parameters:

delta - the delta instruction sequence to format.

includeHeader - true if the header (base size and result size) should be included in the formatting.

Returns:

the formatted delta.
