splitdiff

SPLITDIFF(1)							     Man pages							      SPLITDIFF(1)

NAME

       splitdiff - separate out incremental patches

SYNOPSIS

       splitdiff [-a] [-d] [-p n] [-E] [file]

       splitdiff {[--help] | [--version]}

DESCRIPTION

       If you have a patch file composed of several incremental patches, you can use splitdiff to separate them out. You may want to do this in
       preparation for re-combining them with combinediff(1).

       The effect of running splitdiff is to separate its input into a set of output files, with no output file patching the same file more than
       once.

OPTIONS

       -a
	   Split out every single file-level patch.

       -d
	   Create file names such as a_b.c.patch for a patch that modifies a/b.c.

       -p n
	   Strip the first n components of the pathname to aid comparisons.

       -E
	   Don't use .patch filename extension when writing output files.

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version number of splitdiff.

SEE ALSO

       combinediff(1), lsdiff(1)
