      Perhaps? This includes functionality to extract the contained files though, which cat doesn’t do. Tar basically does what this does, but metadata in tar is not human readable.

        Yeah, very true. I had not read the docs… nor really thought it through. It looks like they realized similar functionality could be had with patch and stopped development. That’s a bit of a shame, there’s certainly room for more than one implementation of anything.

    From the link: Note: this repository has been marked read-only. Similar functionality can be achieved with diff and patch.
