 Selecting the `patch' Input Format
 ==================================
 
    `patch' normally determines which `diff' format the patch file uses
 by examining its contents.  For patch files that contain particularly
 confusing leading text, you might need to use one of the following
 options to force `patch' to interpret the patch file as a certain
 format of diff.  The output formats listed here are the only ones that
 `patch' can understand.
 
 `-c'
 `--context'
      context diff.
 
 `-e'
 `--ed'
      `ed' script.
 
 `-n'
 `--normal'
      normal diff.
 
 `-u'
 `--unified'
      unified diff.
