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.
