SYNOPSIS¶

qbpatch [ old_file new_file diff_file ]

DESCRIPTION¶

qbdiff (and by extension qbpatch ) is an improved and modernised version of bsdiff by Colin Percival.

The command-line invocation is deliberately the same as of bspatch

The integrity of the newly created file is checked by qbpatch using the BLAKE2b checksum embedded in the patch file. If the checksum does not match, an error is reported.
