The destination\n(b) contains a full copy of the current (a), plus the required bits and\npieces to recreate previous versions of (a). `rdifffs` exposes the previous\nversions in a filesystem.\n\nAt the moment, `rdifffs` should be considered alpha quality.\n\n## Example of use\n\n    $ ./rdifffs ./real/dest ./mnt\n    $ ls mnt\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-02-04T18:18:15Z\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-02-04T18:18:17Z\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-02-04T18:18:18Z\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-02-06T12:28:31Z\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-02-07T13:04:04Z\n    drwxr-xr-x 4 jon jon 4096 Feb  7  2010 2010-09-04T16:38:10+01:00\n    lr-xr-xr-x 2 jon jon   11 Jan  1  1970 current -\u003e 2010-09-04T16:38:10+01:00\n    $ cat mnt/*/a\n    Thu Feb  4 18:18:10 GMT 2010\n    Thu Feb  4 18:18:17 GMT 2010\n    Sat Sep  4 16:38:02 BST 2010\n    Sat Sep  4 16:38:02 BST 2010\n    Thu Feb  4 18:18:18 GMT 2010\n    Sat Sep  4 16:38:02 BST 2010\n    Sat Sep  4 16:38:02 BST 2010\n\n### Building/Installing rdifffs\n\n`rdifffs` is written in Haskell and requires a Haskell compiler to build\nand a runtime to run. It has been developed with ghc6 version 6.12.1.\n\n`rdifffs` makes use of (at least) the following additional libraries:\n\n * HFuse, \u003chttp://code.haskell.org/hfuse\u003e\n * MissingH, \u003chttp://software.complete.org/missingh\u003e\n * parsec (version 2.1.0.1), \u003chttp://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/parsec.html\u003e\n * zlib, \u003chttp://hackage.haskell.org/package/zlib/\u003e\n\nInstall these via [Cabal](https://wiki.haskell.org/Cabal-Install),\nor `apt` on a [Debian](http://debian.org) system.\n\nConsult the supplied [Makefile](Makefile) to build `rdifffs`.\n\n### Running rdifffs\n\nPass the underlying `rdiff-backup` directory as the first argument. All\nthe other arguments are handled by FUSE. Supply at least a mount point.\n\n#### Troubleshooting\n\nYou might find the fuse argument `-d` useful: this causes `rdifffs` not to\nfork and relinquish the terminal. It also prints out a lot of debugging\ninformation (which you could direct at `/dev/null`). During initial development\nI found `rdifffs` more stable in this configuration (possibly due to bugs in\nHFuse which may no longer exist).\n\n## Author, Copyright\n\nCopyright © 2010-2016 Jonathan Dowland \u003cjon+rdifffs@dow.land\u003e\n\n`rdifffs` is distributed under the terms of the BSD 3-clause license.\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE) for copyright information.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjmtd%2Frdifffs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjmtd%2Frdifffs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjmtd%2Frdifffs/lists"}
