NAME
splitdiff - separate out incremental patches
SYNOPSIS
splitdiff [-a] [-d] [-p n] [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 for a patch that modifies a/b.c. -p n Strip the first n components of the pathname to aid comparisons. --help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version number of splitdiff.
