## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This crate is part of
|
|
|
|
|
[Arti](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/), a project to
|
|
|
|
|
implement [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) in Rust.

|
Tor uses a restricted version of the "ed-style" diff format to
|
2021-05-25 20:41:23 +01:00
|
|
|
record the difference between a pair of consensus documents, so that
|
|
|
|
|
clients can download only the changes since the last document they
|
|
|
|
|
have.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This crate provides a function to apply one of these diffs to an older
|
|
|
|
|
consensus document, to get a newer one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO: Eventually, when we add relay support, we will need to generate
|
|
|
|
|
these diffs as well as consume them.
