.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar oldfile newfile patchfile
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
generates
|
|
.Ar newfile
|
|
from
|
|
.Ar oldfile
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar patchfile
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar patchfile
|
|
is a binary patch built by
|
|
.Xr bsdiff 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
uses memory equal to the size of
|
|
.Ar oldfile
|
|
plus the size of
|
|
.Ar newfile ,
|
|
but can tolerate a very small working set without a dramatic loss
|
|
of performance.

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not verify that
|
|
.Ar oldfile
|
|
is the correct source file for
|
|
.Ar patchfile .
|
|
Attempting to apply a patch to the wrong file will usually produce
|
|
garbage; consequently it is strongly recommended that users of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
verify that
|
|
.Ar oldfile
|
|
matches the source file from which
|
|
.Ar patchfile
|
|
was built, by comparing cryptographic hashes, for example.
|
|
Users may also wish to verify after running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that
|
|
.Ar newfile
|
|
matches the target file from which
|
|
.Ar was built.
