List the files modified by a patch.
You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program.
−n, −−line−number
Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested (using −nv), each hunk of each patch is listed as well.
For each file that is modified, a line is generated containing the line number of the beginning of the patch, followed by a Tab character, followed by the name of the file that is modified. If −v is given once, following each of these lines will be one line for each hunk, consisting of a Tab character, the line number that the hunk begins at, another Tab character, the string “Hunk #”, and the hunk number (starting at 1).
If the −v is given twice in conjunction with −n (i.e. −nvv), the format is slightly different: hunk−level descriptive text is shown after each hunk number, and the −−number−files option is enabled.
−N, −−number−files
File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename.
−# RANGE, −−hunks=RANGE
Only list hunks within the specified RANGE. Hunks are numbered from 1, and the range is a comma−separated list of numbers or “first−last” spans, optionally preceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction.
−−lines=RANGE
Only list hunks that contain lines from the original file that lie within the specified RANGE. Lines are numbered from 1, and the range is a comma−separated list of numbers or “first−last” spans, optionally preceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction.
−F=RANGE, −−files=RANGE
Only list files indicated by the specified RANGE. Files are numbered from 1 in the order they appear in the patch input, and the range is a comma−separated list of numbers or “first−last” spans, optionally preceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction.
−p n, −−strip−match=n
When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname.
−−strip=n
Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it.
−−addprefix=PREFIX
Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it.
−s, −−status
Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a “+”, a removal by a “−”, and a modification by a “!”.
−E, −−empty−files−as−removed
Treat empty files as absent for the purpose of displaying file additions, modifications and removals.
−i PATTERN, −−include=PATTERN
Include only files matching PATTERN.
−x PATTERN, −−exclude=PATTERN
Exclude files matching PATTERN.
−z, −−decompress
Decompress files with extensions .gz and .bz2.
−H, −−with−filename
Print the name of the patch file containing each patch.
−h, −−no−filename
Suppress the name of the patch file containing each patch.
−v, −−verbose
Verbose output.
−−help
Display a short usage message.
−−version
Display the version number of lsdiff.
−−filter
Behave like filterdiff(1) instead.
−−grep
Behave like grepdiff(1) instead.
filterdiff(1), grepdiff(1), patchview(1)
To sort the order of touched files in a patch, you can use:
lsdiff patch |
sort −u | \
xargs −rn1 filterdiff patch −i
To show only added files in a patch:
lsdiff −s
patch | grep 'ˆ+' | \
cut −c2− | xargs −rn1 filterdiff patch
−i
To show the headers of all file hunks:
lsdiff −n
patch | (while read n file
do sed −ne "$n,$(($n+1))p" patch
done)
