This crate is a Rust port of the classic file comparison program originally implemented in C.
For a detailed description of the underlying algorithm, see:
- Miller, W., and Myers, E. W. “A File Comparison Program.” Software: Practice & Experience 15, no. 11 (1985): 1025–1040.
- Myers, E. W. “An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations.” Technical Report 85-6, Department of Computer Science, University of Arizona, 1985.
This crate is also my tribute to Eugene Myers for his influential work on diff algorithms, hence the name myers.
