NAME
splitdiff - separate out incremental patches
SYNOPSIS
-
splitdiff [-a] [-d] [-D dir] [-p n] [-E] [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.patch
for a patch that modifies
a/b.c.
-D dir
-
Write output files into subdirectory
dir. Implies

-p n
-
Strip the first
n
components of the pathname to aid comparisons.
-E
-
Don't use .patch filename extension when writing output files.
