Selecting the patch Input Format
patch normally determines which diff format the patch file uses by examining its contents. For patch files that
contain particularly confusing leading text, you might need to use one of the
following options to force patch to interpret the patch file as a certain format of diff. The output formats listed in the following are the only ones that patch can understand.
'
-c'
'--context'
context diff.
'
-e'
'--ed'
ed script.
'
-n'
'--normal'
normal diff.
'
-u'
'--unified'
unified diff.
