unwrapdiff - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
unwrapdiff - demangle word-wrapped patches
SYNOPSIS
Tag | Description |
unwrapdiff [-v] [file...]
unwrapdiff {[--help] [--version]}
|
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
Tag | Description |
-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.
|
LIMITATIONS
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 of 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
@@\(rq,
\(lqIndex: \(rq,
\(lqdiff \(rq
or
\(lq--- \(rq
then it is taken to be complete; otherwise it is unwrapped using the next line.
