spatch - Applies patches to files
Synopsis
spatch [options] <oldfile>
Description
The spatch utility applies patches to files. A patch file is a
binary file that describes the differences between an existing
file and a new version of that file. You can use the scompare
utility to generate patch files.
<oldfile> is the name of the file to be patched.
spatch supports the following options:
-o<out-filename>
is the name of the generated patched file. If you do not
specify the -p option, spatch looks for the file oldfile.new
in the current directory.
-p<patchfile>
is the name of the patch file generated by the scompare
utility. The default file is oldfile.pch in the current
directory.
NOTE: You cannot distribute copies of scompare or any other
utility, except spatch, that is included in the SAS/C
Development System. The patch file that you create using
scompare and the spatch utility are both freely
redistributable.
