Binary delta tools and library

This project is a forked version of BSDiff, as taken from the Chromium project at SVN Revision 122769. See README.chromium for background on its origins.

Significant changes after the fork include:

  • Changing the BSDiff file format to support file owner, group, and permission information.
  • Adding more robust error handling.
  • Adding a new program, bsdump, that outputs BSDiff header information.
  • Converting the core functionality into a library, libbsdiff, with public API functions make_bsdiff_delta() and apply_bsdiff_delta().
