splitdiff − separate out incremental patches
splitdiff [−a] [−d] [−D dir] [−p n] [−E] [file] |
||
splitdiff {[−−help] | [−−version]} |
If you have a patch file composed of several incremental patches, you can use splitdiff to separate them out. You may want to do this in preparation for re−combining them with combinediff(1).
The effect of running splitdiff is to separate its input into a set of output files, with no output file patching the same file more than once.
−a
Split out every single file−level patch.
−d
Create file names such as a_b.c.patch for a patch that modifies a/b.c.
−D dir
Write output files into subdirectory dir. Implies −d.
−p n
Strip the first n components of the pathname to aid comparisons.
−E
Don't use .patch filename extension when writing output files.
−−help
Display a short usage message.
−−version
Display the version number of splitdiff.
