+.SH NAME
+vcdiff \- encoder/decoder for VCDIFF (RFC 3284) format
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.HP
+\fBvcdiff\fR {\fBencode\fR|\fBdelta\fR|\fBdecode\fR|\fBpatch\fR}
+\fB\-dictionary\fR <filename>
+[<options>]
+.HP
+\fBencode\fR or \fBdelta\fR:
+create delta file from dictionary and target file
+.HP
+\fBdecode\fR or \fBpatch\fR:
+reconstruct target file from dictionary and delta file
+.HP
+\fB\-dictionary\fR <filename>
+.br
+File containing dictionary data (also known as source data.)
+Required for all operations.
+.HP
+\fB\-target\fR <filename>
+.br
+File name of the target file (unencoded data).
+The default value (blank) causes vcdiff to use standard input for encode,
+or standard output for decode.
+.HP
+\fB\-delta\fR <filename>
+.br
+File name of the delta file (encoded data).
+The default value (blank) causes vcdiff to use standard output for encode,
+or standard input for decode.
+.HP
+\fB\-checksum\fR
+.br
+Include an Adler32 checksum of the target data when encoding.
+Default is false.
+.HP
+\fB\-interleaved\fR
+.br
+Use interleaved format. Default is false.
+.HP
+\fB\-stats\fR
+.br
+Write a report to stderr, containing the original target size,
+compressed delta size, and compression percentage.
+Default is false.
+.HP
+\fB\-target_matches\fR
+.br
+Find duplicate strings in target data as well as dictionary data.
+Default is false.
+.HP
+\fB\-buffersize\fR <integer>
+.br
+The memory buffer size (in bytes) used for reading the input file.
+Default is 1048576 (1 MB); if the input file is smaller than that,
+the buffer will match the file size. This parameter does not usually
+need to be specified.
