n. A diff (sense 2). 4. A set of modifications to binaries to be applied by
|
|
|
|
|
a patching program. IBM operating systems often receive updates to the
|
|
|
|
|
operating system in the form of absolute hexadecimal patches. If you have
|
|
|
|
|
modified your OS, you have to disassemble these back to the source. The
|
|
|
|
|
patches might later be corrected by other patches on top of them (patches
|
|
|
|
|
were said to grow scar tissue ). The result was often a convoluted patch
|
|
|
|
|
space and headaches galore. 5.
