NAME

bspatch — apply a patch built with bsdiff(1)

SYNOPSIS

bspatch ⟨

oldfile ⟩ ⟨
newfile ⟩ ⟨
patchfile ⟩

DESCRIPTION

bspatch generates ⟨

newfile ⟩ from ⟨
oldfile ⟩ and ⟨
patchfile ⟩ where ⟨
patchfile ⟩ is a binary patch built by bsdiff(1).

bspatch uses memory equal to the size of ⟨

oldfile ⟩ plus the size of ⟨
newfile ⟩, but can tolerate a very small working set without a dramatic loss of performance.
