### `xdiff_file_bpatch` example

The following code applies binary diff to a file.

    <?php
    $old_version = 'archive-1.0.tgz';
    $patch = 'archive.bpatch';

    $result = xdiff_file_bpatch($old_version, $patch, 'archive-1.1.tgz');
    if ($result) {
       echo "File patched";
    } else {
       echo "File couldn't be patched";
    }

    ?>

&reftitle.notes;

Both files (`file` and `patch`) will be loaded into memory so ensure that your memory_limit is set high enough.
