man splitdiff (Commandes) - separate out incremental patches
NAME
splitdiff - separate out incremental patches
SYNOPSIS
splitdiff [-a] [-d] [-p n] [file]
splitdiff {--help | --version}
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
- -a
- Split out every single file-level patch.
- -d
- Create file names such as a_b.c for a patch that modifies a/b.c.
- -p n
- Strip the first n components of the pathname to aid comparisons.
- --help
- Display a short usage message.
- --version
- Display the version number of splitdiff.
