RECOUNTDIFF(1)                                                  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  inspec-
       tion  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.
