patch

:-)

There's a unix command named "patch" that's the opposite of "diff"; see its manpage

    I guess that when I install cygwin I did not install the
    package that contains patch ... so I don't have patch.
    Do you know what package I need to install? :)
    Or where I can find patch?

      It seems to be a separate package called simply called patch

      (This note originally erroneously said it was in diffutils.. apologies for rewriting history, next time I'll use an "Update:" addendum)

        Ironically, it's in the "patch" package.

        Also, while I was looking where cygwin installed it I noticed that the original author of patch is --- none other than Larry Wall! News to me...

        Update: When I originally wrote this node, xmath's node said patch was in diffutils. Somewhere between my replying and my submitting, xmath found it in the patch package and updated the node.
