diffutils: patch Messages

 
 10.11 Messages and Questions from 'patch'
 =========================================
 
 'patch' can produce a variety of messages, especially if it has trouble
 decoding its input.  In a few situations where it's not sure how to
 proceed, 'patch' normally prompts you for more information from the
 keyboard.  There are options to produce more or fewer messages, to have
 it not ask for keyboard input, and to affect the way that file names are
 quoted in messages.

· More or Fewer Messages    Controlling the verbosity of 'patch'.
· patch and Keyboard Input  Inhibiting keyboard input.
· patch Quoting Style       Quoting file names in diagnostics.
 
    'patch' exits with status 0 if all hunks are applied successfully, 1
 if some hunks cannot be applied, and 2 if there is more serious trouble.
 When applying a set of patches in a loop, you should check the exit
 status, so you don't apply a later patch to a partially patched file.
