`patch' and the POSIX Standard
==============================
If you specify the `--posix' option, or set the `POSIXLY_CORRECT'
environment variable, `patch' conforms more strictly to the POSIX
standard, as follows:
* Take the first existing file from the list (old, new, index) when
intuiting file names from diff headers. Multiple Patches.
* Do not remove files that are removed by a diff. Creating
and Removing.
* Do not ask whether to get files from RCS, ClearCase, or SCCS.
Revision Control.
* Require that all options precede the files in the command line.
* Do not backup files, even when there is a mismatch.
Backups.
