Function

GgitPatchnew_from_blobs

Declaration [src]

GgitPatch*
ggit_patch_new_from_blobs (
  GgitBlob* old_blob,
  const gchar* old_as_path,
  GgitBlob* new_blob,
  const gchar* new_as_path,
  GgitDiffOptions* diff_options,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Directly generate a patch from the difference between two blobs.

This is just like ggit_diff_blobs() except it generates a patch object for the difference instead of directly making callbacks. You can use the standard ggit_patch accessor functions to read the patch data, and you must call ggit_patch_unref on the patch when done.
