Invoking `patch'
****************
Normally `patch' is invoked like this:
patch <PATCHFILE
The full format for invoking `patch' is:
patch OPTIONS... [ORIGFILE [PATCHFILE]]
You can also specify where to read the patch from with the `-i
PATCHFILE' or `--input=PATCHFILE' option. If you do not specify
PATCHFILE, or if PATCHFILE is `-', `patch' reads the patch (that is,
the `diff' output) from the standard input.
If you do not specify an input file on the command line, `patch'
tries to intuit from the "leading text" (any text in the patch that
comes before the `diff' output) which file to edit. Multiple
Patches.
By default, `patch' replaces the original input file with the
patched version, possibly after renaming the original file into a
backup file ( Backup Names, for a description of how `patch'
names backup files). You can also specify where to put the output with
the `-o FILE' or `--output=FILE' option; however, do not use this option
if FILE is one of the input files.
