+pkgdelta(8)
+=========
+
+Name
+----
+pkgdelta - package delta generation utility
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'pkgdelta' [options] <package1> <package2>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+'pkgdelta' is used to create package delta files between two versions of the
+same package. These files are essentially binary patches. linkman:pacman[8] can
+download deltas instead of full package upgrades, and use them with the
+previous versions of packages (in the package cache) to synthesize the upgraded
+version of the packages. This likely reduces download sizes for upgrades
+significantly.
+
+'pkgdelta' requires linkman:xdelta3[1] to do its job.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+*--max-delta-size <ratio>*::
+	Only create delta files if the delta is smaller than ratio * package_size.
+	Possible values: 0.0 to 2.0.
+	Recommended values: 0.2 to 0.9.
+	Default value: 0.7
+
+*--min-pkg-size <size>*::
+	Minimal size of the package file in bytes to be considered for delta creation.
+	Default value: 1048576 bytes = 1 MiB. This may be any absolute size in bytes or
+	a human-readable value such as `4MiB` or `3.5MB`.
+
+*-q, \--quiet*::
+	Be quiet. Do not output anything but warnings and errors.
