SUBCOMMANDS: apply Apply a binary patch to a file generate Generate a binary patch from a source and new file help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) ```

Generate

This subcommand generates the diff.zip file (filename can be changed with -o) that can be sent to the recipient to be applied. Instead of a file output, stout can be chosen with the -p flag.

Apply

This subcommand takes in a diff file (either zip or plaintext) and applies it to the source file. The diff file is automatically removed; however, it can be left alone with the -d flag. Additionally, the -r flag asks the user for a confirmation before applying the updates.
