NAME
       lsdiff - show which files are modified by a patch

SYNOPSIS
       lsdiff [[-n] | [--line-number]] [[-p n] | [--strip-match=n]] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [[-s] | [--status]] [[-E] |
	      [--empty-files-as-removed]] [[-i PATTERN] | [--include=PATTERN]] [[-x PATTERN] | [--exclude=PATTERN]] [[-z] | [--decompress]]
	      [[-# RANGE] | [--hunks=RANGE]] [--lines=RANGE] [--files=RANGE] [[-H] | [--with-filename]] [[-h] | [--no-filename]] [[-v] |
	      [--verbose]...] [file...]

       lsdiff {[--help] | [--version] | [--filter ...] | [--grep ...]}

DESCRIPTION
       List the files modified by a patch.

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

OPTIONS
       -n, --line-number
	   Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested (using -nv), each hunk of each patch is listed as
	   well.

	   For each file that is modified, a line is generated containing the line number of the beginning of the patch, followed by a Tab
	   character, followed by the name of the file that is modified. If -v is given once, following each of these lines will be one line for
	   each hunk, consisting of a Tab character, the line number that the hunk begins at, another Tab character, the string "Hunk #", and the
	   hunk number (starting at 1).

	   If the -v is given twice in conjunction with -n (i.e.  -nvv), the format is slightly different: hunk-level descriptive text is shown
	   after each hunk number, and the --number-files option is enabled.

       --number-files
	   File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename.

       -# RANGE, --hunks=RANGE
	   Only list hunks within the specified RANGE. Hunks are numbered from 1, and the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or
	   "first-last" spans; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction.

       --lines=RANGE
	   Only list hunks that contain lines from the original file that lie within the specified RANGE. Lines are numbered from 1, and the range
	   is a comma-separated list of numbers or "first-last" spans; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no
	   limit in that direction.

       --files=RANGE
	   Only list files indicated by the specified RANGE. Files are numbered from 1 in the order they appear in the patch input, and the range
	   is a comma-separated list of numbers or "first-last" spans; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no
	   limit in that direction.

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

       --strip=n
	   Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it.

       --addprefix=PREFIX
	   Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it.

       -s, --status
	   Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a "+", a removal by a "-", and a modification by a
	   "!".

       -E, --empty-files-as-removed
	   Treat empty files as absent for the purpose of displaying file additions, modifications and removals.

       -i PATTERN, --include=PATTERN
	   Include only files matching PATTERN.

       -x PATTERN, --exclude=PATTERN
	   Exclude files matching PATTERN.

       -z, --decompress
	   Decompress files with extensions .gz and .bz2.

       -H, --with-filename
	   Print the name of the patch file containing each patch.

       -h, --no-filename
	   Suppress the name of the patch file containing each patch.

       -v, --verbose
	   Verbose output.

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version number of lsdiff.

       --filter
	   Behave like filterdiff(1) instead.

       --grep
	   Behave like grepdiff(1) instead.

EXAMPLES
       To sort the order of touched files in a patch, you can use:

	   lsdiff patch | sort -u | 
	     xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i

       To show only added files in a patch:

	   lsdiff -s patch | grep '^+' | 
	     cut -c2- | xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i

       To show the headers of all file hunks:

	   lsdiff -n patch | (while read n file
	     do sed -ne "$n,$(($n+1))p" patch
	   done)
