APPLYPATCH(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    APPLYPATCH(1p)

NAME
applypatch - apply 'makepatch' generated script to update a source tree SYNOPSIS
applypatch [ options ] patch-kit DESCRIPTION
Applypatch applies a patch kit as generated by the makepatch program. It performs the following actions: o First, it will extensively verify that the patch kit is complete and did not get corrupted during transfer. o Then it will apply some heuristics to verify that the directory in which the patch will be applied does indeed contain the expected sources. If a corruption or verification error is detected, applypatch exits without making changes. o If the kit is okay, and the directory seems to be the right one: it creates new files and directories as necessary. o Then it runs the patch program to apply the patch to the source files. o Upon completion, obsolete files, directories and .orig files are removed, file modes of new files are set, and the timestamps of all patched files are adjusted. Applypatch arguments Applypatch takes one argument, the name of the patch kit as generated by makepatch. If no name is specified, the patch kit is read from standard input. Applypatch options Options are matched case insensitive, and may be abbreviated to uniqueness. -directory dir The name of the source directory to be patched. -check Perform the checks on the patch kit and patch directory, but do not make any changes. -force Force continuation of the patch process even when corruption or verification errors are detected. This is very dangerous! -retain Do not remove patch backup files (with extension ".orig") upon completion. -patch cmd The patch command to be used. Default is ""patch -p0 -N"". Additionally, a ""-s"" will be added unless option -verbose was specified. -verbose This option will cause applypatch and the patch program to emit verbose progress information. -quiet This option will cause applypatch and the patch program to emit no progress information, only error messages. Environment variables SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX The suffix used by (some versions of?) patch to back up the originals of patched files. Upon completion, these files are removed by applypatch unless the option -retain was specified. Default value if "".orig"". SEE ALSO
makepatch(1), diff(1), patch(1), perl(1), rm(1). AUTHOR AND CREDITS
