Line 2: == Examples == One of the best-known examples of data differencing is the [[diff]] utility, which produces line-by-line differences of [[text file]]s (and in some implementations, [[binary file]]s). Differencing of general binary files goes under the rubric of [[delta encoding]], with a widely-used example being the algorithm used in [[rsync]]. A standardized generic differencing format is [[VCDIFF]], implemented in such utilities as [[Xdelta]] version 3. == Connection with data compression ==
