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.
