NAME

4     bspatch — apply a patch built with bsdiff(1)
5

SYNOPSIS

7     bspatch ⟨oldfile⟩ ⟨newfile⟩ ⟨patchfile⟩
8

DESCRIPTION

10     bspatch generates ⟨newfile⟩ from ⟨oldfile⟩ and ⟨patchfile⟩ where
11     ⟨patchfile⟩ is a binary patch built by bsdiff(1).
12
13     bspatch uses memory equal to the size of ⟨oldfile⟩ plus the size of
14     ⟨newfile⟩, but can tolerate a very small working set without a dramatic
15     loss of performance.
