### Create File Snapshot with Blockdiff

Source: https://github.com/cognitionai/blockdiff/blob/main/README.md

Use this command to create a blockdiff file representing the differences between a target image and a base image.

```bash
blockdiff create output.bdiff target.img --base base.img // creates output.bdiff from target.img and base.img
```

--------------------------------

### Apply File Snapshot with Blockdiff

Source: https://github.com/cognitionai/blockdiff/blob/main/README.md

Use this command to reconstruct a target image from a blockdiff file and a base image.

```bash
blockdiff apply input.bdiff target.img --base base.img // creates target.img from input.bdiff and base.img
```

### Compact Sparse File with Blockdiff Create

Source: https://github.com/cognitionai/blockdiff/blob/main/README.md

Consolidates a sparse file into a new, compact blockdiff file. This is useful for reducing file size for storage or transfer.

```bash
blockdiff create compact.bdiff target.img // consolidates sparse file into a new compact blockdiff
```

--------------------------------

### Apply Compact Blockdiff to Create Sparse File

Source: https://github.com/cognitionai/blockdiff/blob/main/README.md

Recreates a sparse target image from a compact blockdiff file. This is the inverse operation of compacting a sparse file.

```bash
blockdiff apply compact.bdiff target.img // creates a new sparse target.img from the blockdiff
```
