About BPatch
The information in this tab is based on the bpatch (1) man page written by Stefan Reuther, updated as necessary.
Synopsis
bpatch [options] old-file [ new-file ] [ <patch-file ]
Description
bpatch applies a binary patch generated by bdiff.
Patches are read from standard input unless the --input option
is used to specify an input file.
old-file is the same file as used as the first argument to
bdiff. bpatch will create a copy of the file given
as second argument to bdiff in new-file by using
the information from old-file and patch-file. If
new-file is omitted, the old file is replaced with the new
file.
bpatch will detect if the patch does not match
old-file, or if the patch has been garbled. Remember to
transmit binary patches as binary files!
In case of an error, new-file will not be touched.
