BSPATCH(1) BSD General Commands Manual BSPATCH(1)

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.
