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.
