NAME
       splitdiff - separate out incremental patches

SYNOPSIS
       splitdiff [-a] [-d] [-p n] [file]

       splitdiff {--help | --version}


DESCRIPTION
       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  com-
       binediff(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.
