Declaration [src]

  GgitBlame* blame,
  const guint8* buffer,

Description [src]

Get blame data for a file that has been modified in memory. blame is a pre-calculated blame for the in-odb history of the file. This means that once a file blame is completed (which can be expensitve), updating the buffer blame is very fast.

Lines that differ between the buffer and the committed version are marked as having a zero id for their #ggit_blame_hunk_get_final_commit_id.

`buffer_length`	`gsize`
	The length of the buffer.
`error`	`GError **`
	The return location for a `GError*`, or `NULL`.

Return value

Returns:	`GgitBlame`
	A `GgitBlame` or `NULL`.
	The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
	The return value can be `NULL`.
