Pure Go implementation of bsdiff 4.
bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to binary files. By using suffix sorting (specifically, Larsson and Sadakane's qsufsort) and taking advantage of how executable files change.
The package can be used as a library (pkg/bsdiff pkg/bspatch) or as a cli program (cmd/bsdiff cmd/bspatch).
