The default is to output the +opposite style of whatever was input, but this can be overridden by +the -c or -u options. If the source file is not mentioned, it will be +read from the standard input. + +Various other options allow you to echo the non-diff (comment) lines +to stderr, modify the diff by removing the comment lines, and/or tweak +the diff into a format that is good for releasing patches. + +Unipatch is a filter to turn a unified diff into a degenerate context +diff (no '!'s) for patch. |
