Ggit.Patch.new_from_blobs
Description: Reference for Ggit.Patch.new_from_blobs

### Function

# Ggit Patchnew_from_blobs

#### Declaration [src]

    GgitPatch*
    ggit_patch_new_from_blobs (
      GgitBlob* old_blob,
      const gchar* old_as_path,
      GgitBlob* new_blob,
      const gchar* new_as_path,
      GgitDiffOptions* diff_options,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Directly generate a patch from the difference between two blobs.

This is just like `ggit_diff_blobs()` except it generates a patch object for the difference instead of directly making callbacks. You can use the standard ggit_patch accessor functions to read the patch data, and you must call ggit_patch_unref on the patch when done.

#### Parameters

`old_blob`

  Type: `GgitBlob`

  A `GgitBlob` to diff from.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`old_as_path`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  Treat `old_blob` as if it had this filename, or `NULL`,.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`new_blob`

  Type: `GgitBlob`

  A `GgitBlob` to diff to.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`new_as_path`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  Treat `new_blob` as if it had this filename, or `NULL`,.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`diff_options`

  Type: `GgitDiffOptions`

  A `GgitDiffOptions`, or `NULL`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the function if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GgitPatch`

A newly created `GgitPatch` or `NULL`.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be `NULL`.
