patch is a utility used to apply source code patches to a source code tree. Source code patches are commonly used to distribute code changes to developers working on open-source projects.
The diff utility is used to create patches, which can then be applied by patch.
Unified Diff
The most common format for patches is the unified diff. The unified diff shows both line additions and removals, which are indicated by '+' and '-' symbols at the front of each line, respectively.
Example unified diff:
--- a/pyl.asm
+++ b/pyl.asm
@@ -55,9 +55,9 @@ START:
