This command updates an existing Inspec profile for a STIG with the metadata from a new revision to that STIG. It reads through the XCCDF XML file from the new revision and updates the existing profile's controls as needed.

inspec_delta profile update -p /path/to/profile -s /path/to/stig.xml

    -p, --pr, [--profile_path=PROFILE_PATH]    # Specified path to the root directory of the existing Inspec profile.
    -s, --st, [--stig_file_path=STIG_PATH]     # Specified path to the XCCDF XML file from the new STIG revision we are updating to.
