NAME

     bspatch - apply a patch built with bsdiff(1)

SYNOPSIS

     bspatcholdfile〉 〈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.
