+<para>The command <command>nix-generate-patches</command> generates
+binary patches between NAR files listed in OLD-MANIFEST and NEW-MANIFEST.
+The patches are written to the directory PATCH-DIR, and the prefix
+PATCH-URI is used to generate URIs for the patches.  The patches are
+added to NEW-MANIFEST.  All NARs are required to exist in NAR-DIR.
+Patches are generated between succeeding versions of packages with
+the same name.</para>
