LinuxLala’s Temple of Wisdom

My latest article is up on Linux.com. It is about the command line tools patch and diff as the title somewhat suggests

I have discussed how patchfiles are created using diff and are then applied using patch. I find the two tools very useful and must for all developers and also for people who maintain files whether text or html that many people use. A quick patchfile is far more convenient to use than having to download the entire updated file.

It is for this reason that you’d never find any software/document that does not release updates as patches.

Enjoy!
