Description

GNU patch is the Free Software Foundation's version of the patch(1) command. Patch takes a patch file containing a difference listing produced by the diff program and applies those differences to one or more original files, producing patched versions. The patch binary is prefixed with the letter g to differentiate it from the standard application with the same name.
