NAME
       grepdiff - show files modified by a diff containing a regex

SYNOPSIS
       grepdiff [-n] [-p n] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [-s] [-i PATTERN] [-x PATTERN] {REGEX} [file...]

       grepdiff {--help | --version | --list | --filter ...}

DESCRIPTION
       For each file modified by a patch, if the patch hunk contains the REGEX then the file's name is printed.

       The regular expression is treated as POSIX Basic Regular Expression syntax.

       For example, to see the patches in my.patch which contain the regular expression ``pf_gfp_mask'', use:

	      grepdiff pf_gfp_mask my.patch | 
		xargs -rn1 filterdiff my.patch -i

       You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program.

       -p n   When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname.

       --strip=n

       --addprefix=PREFIX

       -s     Show  file  additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a ``+'', a removal by a ``-'', and a modification
