DESCRIPTION

20       List the files modified by a patch.
21
22       You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program.
23

OPTIONS

25       -n, --line-number
26           Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose
27           output is requested (using -nv), each hunk of each patch is listed
28           as well.
29
30           For each file that is modified, a line is generated containing the
31           line number of the beginning of the patch, followed by a Tab
32           character, followed by the name of the file that is modified. If -v
33           is given once, following each of these lines will be one line for
34           each hunk, consisting of a Tab character, the line number that the
35           hunk begins at, another Tab character, the string “Hunk #”, and the
36           hunk number (starting at 1).
37
38           If the -v is given twice in conjunction with -n (i.e.  -nvv), the
39           format is slightly different: hunk-level descriptive text is shown
40           after each hunk number, and the --number-files option is enabled.
41
42       --number-files
43           File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename.
44
45       -# RANGE, --hunks=RANGE
46           Only list hunks within the specified RANGE. Hunks are numbered from
47           1, and the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or
48           “first-last” spans; either the first or the last in the span may be
49           omitted to indicate no limit in that direction.
50
51       --lines=RANGE
52           Only list hunks that contain lines from the original file that lie
53           within the specified RANGE. Lines are numbered from 1, and the
54           range is a comma-separated list of numbers or “first-last” spans;
55           either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate
56           no limit in that direction.
57
58       --files=RANGE
59           Only list files indicated by the specified RANGE. Files are
60           numbered from 1 in the order they appear in the patch input, and
61           the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or “first-last”
62           spans; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to
63           indicate no limit in that direction.
64
65       -p n, --strip-match=n
66           When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname.
67
68       --strip=n
69           Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it.
70
71       --addprefix=PREFIX
72           Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it.
73
74       -s, --status
75           Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is
76           indicated by a “+”, a removal by a “-”, and a modification by a
77           “!”.
78
79       -E, --empty-files-as-removed
80           Treat empty files as absent for the purpose of displaying file
81           additions, modifications and removals.
82
83       -i PATTERN, --include=PATTERN
84           Include only files matching PATTERN.
85
86       -x PATTERN, --exclude=PATTERN
87           Exclude files matching PATTERN.
88
89       -z, --decompress
90           Decompress files with extensions .gz and .bz2.
91
92       -H, --with-filename
93           Print the name of the patch file containing each patch.
94
95       -h, --no-filename
96           Suppress the name of the patch file containing each patch.
97
98       -v, --verbose
99           Verbose output.
100
101       --help
102           Display a short usage message.
103
104       --version
105           Display the version number of lsdiff.
106
107       --filter
108           Behave like filterdiff(1) instead.
109
110       --grep
111           Behave like grepdiff(1) instead.

EXAMPLES

117       To sort the order of touched files in a patch, you can use:
118
119           lsdiff patch | sort -u | \
120             xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i
121
122       To show only added files in a patch:
123
124           lsdiff -s patch | grep '^+' | \
125             cut -c2- | xargs -rn1 filterdiff patch -i
126
127       To show the headers of all file hunks:
128
129           lsdiff -n patch | (while read n file
130             do sed -ne "$n,$(($n+1))p" patch
131           done)
