Explanation:
patch takes a patch file patchfile containing a difference listing produced by the diff program and
applies those differences to one or more original files, producing patched versions
-R or- reverse :Assume that this patch was created with the old and new files swapped. Patch
attempts to swap each hunk around before applying it. Rejects come out in the swapped format.
The -R option does not work with ed diff scripts because there is too little information toreconstruct the reverse operation.
