[pbs-devel] [RFC v2 proxmox-backup 30/36] client: pxar: add method for metadata comparison

[Christian Ebner]

Adds a method to compare the metadata of the current file entry
against the metadata of the entry looked up in the previous backup
snapshot.

If the metadata matched, the start offset for the payload stream is
returned.

This is in preparation for reusing payload chunks for unchanged files.
