NAME
----
uips - Universal IPS patch create/apply utility

SYNOPSIS
--------
*uips* 'c' 'patch_file' 'source_file'... 'target_file'

*uips* 'a' 'patch_file' 'target_file'

DESCRIPTION
-----------
uips is a utility for creating and applying IPS patches.  IPS is an
old patch format for binary files, limited to 16MiB in size, and not
to be confused with the newer UPS format.  Multiple source files and
IPSv2 truncation are supported.

A command invocation like ``uips c patch.ips file1 file2 file3 file4''
will create a patch file capable of transforming any of the files
'file1', 'file2', or 'file3' to 'file4'.
