unwrapdiff − demangle word−wrapped patches |
|
unwrapdiff [−v] [file...] |
|
unwrapdiff {[−−help] | [−−version]} |
|
unwrapdiff demangles patches that have been word−wrapped, in an attempt to make them useful. The corrected diff is sent to standard output. Note that you will probably need to use the −l option when applying the patch, in order to ignore any whitespace differences there may be. |
|
−v |
|
Verbose operation. A list of lines that are modified in a way that might be wrong is sent to stderr. |
|
−−help |
|
Display a short usage message. |
|
−−version |
|
Display the version number of unwrapdiff. |

Some heuristics are used to decide whether use a space to recombine a wrapped line, or just join them together. Currently this is done by comparing with last three characters of a line with the first two characters of its continuation, and using a space if any of them are different. The patch needs to have been valid before being word−wrapped. The last line of a hunk is nearly always ambiguous. If the next line begins “@@”, “Index: ”, “diff ” or “−−− ” then it is taken to be complete; otherwise it is unwrapped using the next line. |
