xdelta:tldr:909af

The given command is using the "xdelta" tool for creating a binary diff file between two files.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

• "xdelta" - the name of the command or tool being used.
• "-e" - a flag indicating that the command is for creating a binary diff (encode).
• "-s" - a flag indicating that the following argument is the source file or the old file.
• "${path-to-old_file}" - the placeholder representing the path to the old file that you want to create a diff for. You need to replace this with the actual file path.
• "${path-to-new_file}" - the placeholder representing the path to the new file that you want to compare with the old file. You need to replace this with the actual file path.
• "${path-to-output_file-xdelta}" - the placeholder representing the path to the output file where the binary diff file will be saved. You need to replace this with the desired file path/name for the output diff file.

To run this command, you will replace the placeholders with the actual file paths and execute it in the command-line interface or terminal. The tool will generate a binary diff, also known as a delta file, capturing the differences between the old file and the new file. This delta file can be used for various purposes such as patching, minimizing file transfer sizes, or backup purposes.
