Usage:
smv l [SvfFile]
List content of a SvfFile (replace l by lv to get a wide list)
smv cr [SvfFile] [List of file, directory or wilcard]
Create a new SvfFile, create the first directory as reference with List
smv crz [SvfFile] [zipfile]
Create a new SvfFile, create the first directory as reference from zipfile
smv cz [SvfFile] [List of file, directory or wilcard]
Create a new SvfFile, create the first directory as compressed with List
smv czz [SvfFile] [List of file, directory or wilcard]
Create a new SvfFile, create the first directory as compressed from zipfile
smv i [SvfFile] [-br base_directory] [List of file, directory or wilcard]
Add a set of file as new version
smv iz SvfFile zipfile [-br base_directory] [List of file, directory or wilcard]
Add content of a zipfile as new version
smv a [SvfFile] [-br base_directory] [List of file, dir or wilcard] -v #[-#2]
Add a set of file in existing version
smv d [SvfFile] [-br base_directory] [List of file or wilcard] -v #[-#2]
Delete file into existing version, from version # to version #2
smv x [SvfFile] [-br base_directory] [List of file or wilcard] [-v #] [-o]
Extract a version (number # version, or latest by default, -o overwrite all)
smv xz SvfFile zipfile [-br base_directory] [List of file or wilcard] [-v #]
Extract a version to zip (# version, or latest by default)
smv t [SvfFile] [-br base_directory] [-v #]
Test the base directory, (number # version, or first by default)
smv av [SvfFile] [SvfFileToBeAppend]
Append somes version from file SvfFileToBeAppend to file SvfFile. A version
of SvfFileToBeAppend must match extactly the latest version of SvfFile
for smv i,a,d,x,t, [-br base_directory] needed if the first version is reference
SvfFile created using cz contain the first version compressed (like .zip)
SvfFile created using cr contain only name, size and checksum of file of the
first version. So when you use a SvfFile created with cr, you need specify
a directory which contain files referenced in first version with -br
Options for smv i,a before [List of file, dir, wilcard]:
[-onlyexistlatest] (or -oel) use only file which exist on latest version
[-onlyexistversion #] (or -oev #) use only file which exist on version #
Options for smv cr,cz,i,a before [List of file, dir, wilcard]:
[-r] to recurse into directories
[-n #] where # is the version name
[-c #] where # is the version comment
[-nf #, -cf #, -nfu #, -cfu #] for reading name/comment from file #
[-nf #, -cf #] for ansi text file, [-nfu #, -cfu #] for unicode file
Options for smv m,cr,cz,i,a before [List of file, dir, wilcard]:
[-compressratio #] : select the block compress ratio
if # is between 1 (faster) and 9 (smaller) : uses zlib engine
if # is between 41 (faster) and 49 (smaller) : uses lzma engine
if # is between 51 (faster) and 59 (smaller) : uses mix zlib+lzma engine
svf file with lzma are not compatible with smartversion 1 or 2
[-v1compatibility] (or -v1compat) for compatibile file with SmartVersion 1
[-blocksize #] : select the internal blocksize (8 to 8192, power of 2)
[-nbhashbits #] : select the internal number of hash bits
Options for smv x,t,m,cr,cz,i,a before [List of file, dir, wilcard]:
[-tmpdir #] : select the directory used to write temporary file
[-memtmpsize #] : select the maximum memory size (KB) for temporary data
Alternative to [List of file, dir, wilcard]
[-lf #, -lfu #] read file list from text file
Example:
smv cz archives.svf -r c:\directory\*
create a new archives with files from c:\directory recursely
smv i archives.svf -r c:\directory\*
add new version on archives.svf with files from c:\directory recursely
smv a archives.svf -r c:\directory\file*.txt -v 1-3
add file*.txt on existing version from 1 to 3
smv d archives.svf file*.txt -v 1-3
delete file*.txt on existing version from 1 to 3
smv d archives.svf * -v 2
fully delete existing version 2
smv x archives.svf *.doc -v 3 -o

Sample of usage
You can create a MakePatch.bat
smv cr %1.svf %2 -sha1smv i %1.svf %3 -rf %2 %3 -br .
or, another variant of MakePatch.bat:
set smvexec="C:\Program Files\SmartVersion\smv.exe"%smvexec% cr %1.svf %2 -sha1
%smvexec% i %1.svf %3 -rf %2 %3 -br .
or, to uses xz-lzma internal compression (smaller but slower):
set smvexec="C:\Program Files\SmartVersion\smv.exe"%smvexec% cr %1.svf %2 -sha1
%smvexec% i %1.svf %3 -rf %2 %3 -br . -compressratio 48
then call "MakePatch <smartversion_file_to_create> <first_version> <two_version>" to create a patch between two file in current directory.
After, for extracting from the smartversion file and the first version, both in current directory
smv x %1.svf -br .
