recountdiff(1)

NAME

   recountdiff - recompute patch counts and offsets

SYNOPSIS

   recountdiff [file...]

   recountdiff {[--help] | [--version]}

DESCRIPTION

   recountdiff recomputes the counts and offsets in unified context diffs.
   It does this in two passes: first the counts are corrected by
   inspection of the actual patch lines, and then the offsets are adjusted
   according to the computed counts.

   The corrected diff is sent to standard output.

OPTIONS

   --help
       Display a short usage message.

   --version
       Display the version number of recountdiff.

LIMITATIONS

   There are some things that cannot be dealt with. If you have removed
   the first context line in a hunk, for example, there is no way for
   recountdiff to know that. For more precise fixing up, use rediff(1),
   which uses the original and modified diffs.
