+The Generic Diff Format (GDIFF) can be used to efficiently describe the
+differences between two arbirary files. The format does not make any
+assumptions about the type or contents of the files, and thus can be used to
+describe the differences between text files as well as binary files. The GDIFF
+format is itself a binary file format.
 
-## Usage:
-
-    gdiff file_a file_b > patch
-    gpatch file_a patch > file_b_from_patch
-
-### or as a library:
-
-    require 'gdiff'
-
-    File.open("patch", "wb") do | patch |
-      patch << Diff::GDiff.diff(File.read("file_a"), File.read("file_b")).pack
-    end

-    File.open("file_b_from_patch", "wb") do | file_b_2 |
-      file_b_2 << Diff::GDiff.unpack(File.read("patch")).apply_to(File.read("file_a"))
-    end
