Description

Binary files and directories can be compared and patched with C/C++ tooling for compact update or synchronization workflows.

It is useful for release engineering, game assets, firmware updates, backups, and distributing small deltas instead of full files. Patch workflows can corrupt targets if the wrong base is used, so verify source versions and keep backups.

How to run

Commands: hdiffz
