Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] What's the recommended way to use the patch tool?

[Ulf Lamping <ulf.lamping@xxxxxx>]

Hi List!

As I'm working on the developer's guide, I wanted to write down how to 
use the command line patch tool, but found myself unsure about it.

I've tried the patch tool from TortoiseSVN before, but it failed with an 
error.


Given the file "new.diff" containing a unified diff, what is the right 
way to call the patch tool?

Is there a difference when the diff file contains one file "diff -u" or 
more files "diff -ur"?

At which position in the filesystem has the patch tool to be called?

Regards, ULFL
