For example, if you have applied a pre-patch to a source tree, and +wish to apply another pre-patch (which is against the same original source +tree), you can use interdiff to generate the patch that you need to apply. +You can also use this to review changes between two pre-patches. +Combinediff generates a single patch from two incremental patches, allowing +you to merge patches together. The resulting patch file only alters each file +once. +Filterdiff will select the portions of a patch file that apply to files +matching (or, alternatively, not matching) a shell wildcard. +Fixcvsdiff is for correcting the output of 'cvs diff'. +Rediff corrects hand-edited patches, by comparing the original patch with the +modified one and adjusting the offsets and counts. +Lsdiff displays a short listing of affected files in a patch file, along with +(optionally) the line numbers of the start of each patch. +Splitdiff separates out patches from a patch file so that each new patch file +only alters any given file once. In this way, a file containing several +incremental patches can be split into individual incremental patches. +Grepdiff displays a list of the files modified by a patch where the patch +contains a given regular expression. +Recountdiff fixes up counts and offsets in a unified diff. +Unwrapdiff fixes word-wrapped unified diffs. |
