Binary diff/patch for large files on linux?
- by thejh
I've got two partition images (A and B) and want to use them to create a patch that I can apply on A on another computer in order to get the new B image without flooding the network. I have the following requirements:
works on linux
can create diffs
can use diffs to patch files
can handle binary files
can handle large files (a few hundred GB should work)
no user interaction required (just a console application)
ideally, should be able to read from/write to pipes (so that I can pipe into it from a gzip-compressed file and write to one)
Does something like that exist?
