    It's a utility for patch management of binary files.

    It uses err and errx from GNU. I'm not sure what I'd need to do to bring in the GNU routines - download the GNU C lib and headers?

    from: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html
    — Function: void errx (int status, const char *format, ...)
    The errx function is roughly equivalent to a call like
    error (status, 0, format, the parameters)
    except that the global variables error respects and modifies are not used and that the program is exited even if status is zero. The difference to err is that no error number string is printed.
    ideas?
    thank you very much.
