hi
i want to know how to create a PATCH for the difference file i got by comparing two banary files.
$cmp -l <old binary image file> <new binary image file> > output file name

i checked for text files 'diff" can be used to compare and generate a PATCH file
$ diff -u oldFile newFile > mods.diff  # -u tells diff to output unified diff format

i want to apply the PATCH on the old binary image file to get my new binary image file.

thank you
