NAME

SYNOPSIS

lsdiff [-n] [-p n] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [-s]
       [-i PATTERN] [-x PATTERN] [-v] [file...]

lsdiff {--help | --version | --filter ... | --grep ...}
      

DESCRIPTION

List the files modified by a patch.

You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program.

OPTIONS

-n

Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested, each hunk of each patch is listed as well.

For each file that is modified, a line is generated containing the line number of the beginning of the patch, followed by a Tab character, followed by the name of the file that is modified. If -v is given, following each of these lines will be one line for each hunk, consisting of a Tab character, the line number that the hunk begins at, another Tab character, the string ``Hunk #'', and the hunk number (starting at 1).

-p n

When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname.

--strip=n

Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it.

--addprefix=PREFIX

Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it.

-s

Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a ``+'', a removal by a ``-'', and a modification by a ``!''.

-i PATTERN

Include only files matching PATTERN.

-x PATTERN

Exclude files matching PATTERN.

-v

Verbose output.

--help

Display a short usage message.

--version

Display the version number of lsdiff.

--filter

Behave like filterdiff(1) instead.

--grep

Behave like grepdiff(1) instead.

SEE ALSO

filterdiff(1), grepdiff(1)

EXAMPLES

To sort the order of touched files in a patch, you can use:

lsdiff patch | sort -u | \
  xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i

To show only added files in a patch:

lsdiff -s patch | grep '^+' | \
  cut -c2- | xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i

To show the headers of all file hunks:

lsdiff -n patch | (while read n file
  do sed -ne "$n,$(($n+1))p" patch
done)
