ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Are there any utilities out there that will compare to C files for differences and then create a C patch for one of them? Or any patchers that will compare to binaries and then create a C patch for them? I have found one called "repeat" from packetstormsecurity.org but it does not work very well. Thanks!
Use diff and patch to find and patch differences in C files. Look over the man pages for them and post if you have any questions. I've never been a fan of batching binaries, I just replace them.
Thanks crabboy. Im looking over the manpages now but neither of these will create an actual patch.c file. This is what i was looking for, although this does help. I understand theres not much need for binary patching in the linux world. But there are a few out there Im sure.
