ZCK_DELTA_SIZE(1)	     General Commands Manual	       ZCK_DELTA_SIZE(1)

NAME
     zck_delta_size -- calculate the differences between two zchunk files

SYNOPSIS
     zck_delta_size [-v | --verbose] file1 file2
     zck_delta_size -? | --help | --usage | --version

DESCRIPTION
     The  zck_delta_size utility examines two zchunk compressed files and deter-
     mines how similar they are: how many chunks are the same between the files,
     so that tools like e.g.  rsync(1) or zckdl(1) could only transfer the small
     parts that differ instead of the full files.  This is especially useful for
     structured files that have been  compressed  using  the  zck(1)  tool's  -s
     (--split) option.

     The zck_delta_size utility accepts the following optional arguments:

     -v, --verbose
	     Verbose operation; display some diagnostic output.

     -?, --help
	     Display program usage information and exit.

     --usage
	     Display brief program usage information and exit.

     --version
	     Display program version information and exit.

EXIT STATUS
     The zck_delta_size utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     Examine two zchunk files:

	   zck_delta_size doc1.txt.zck doc2.txt.zck
