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.

Parameters

old_blob

Type: GgitBlob

A GgitBlob to diff from.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
old_as_path

Treat old_blob as if it had this filename, or NULL,.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
new_blob

Type: GgitBlob

A GgitBlob to diff to.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
new_as_path

Type: const gchar*

Treat new_blob as if it had this filename, or NULL,.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
