|
|
.Nd apply a patch built with bsdiff(1)
|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar oldfile newfile patchfile
|
|
.Op Ar old-extents new-extents
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
generates
|
|
.Ar newfile
|
|
from
|
|
.Ar oldfile
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar patchfile ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar patchfile
|
|
is a binary patch built by
|
|
.Xr bsdiff 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When provided,
|
|
.Ar old-extents
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar new-extents
|
|
instruct
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to read specific chunks of data from the old file and to write to specific
|
|
locations in the new file, respectively. Each is a comma-separated list of
|
|
extents of the form
|
|
.Ar offset : Ns Ar length ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar offset
|
|
is either -1 or a non-negative integer and
|
|
.Ar length
|
|
is a positive integer. An offset value of -1 denotes a sparse extent, namely a
|
|
sequence of zeros that entails neither reading nor writing of actual file
|
|
content.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses memory equal to the size of
|
|
.Ar newfile ,
|
|
but can tolerate a very small working set without a dramatic loss
|
|
of performance.
