| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| |
| <p>Apply the diff included in <samp>module.1.0-1.1.patch</samp> to the files in base directory |
| guessing the filename(s) from the diff output.</p> |
| <pre><patch patchfile="module.1.0-1.1.patch"/></pre> |
| |
| <p>Here, one leading directory part will be removed:</p> |
| <pre><patch patchfile="module.1.0-1.1.patch" strip="1"/></pre> |
| <p>i.e. if the diff output looked like</p> |
| <pre> |
| --- a/mod1.0/A Mon Jun 5 17:28:41 2000 |
| +++ a/mod1.1/A Mon Jun 5 17:28:49 2000</pre> |
| <p>the leading <samp>a/</samp> will be stripped.</p> |
