    The example was probably produced using the *nix tool "diff" and can be applied to a module using the *nix tool "patch". There are versions of those tools for other platforms. Read the documentation for patch to see how to do it (basically just patch file-to-patch patch-to-apply. You can also just do it by hand by finding the line numbers referenced and taking out lines with a - and adding lines with a +.
      Thank you for the answer. I managed to figure it out.
