Greetings all; I must admit its been quite a few years since the last time I used patch. Basck in the early 90's when the amiga was king in the graphic arts. And it then had a syntax of 'patch -p1 < path/to/patchfile' But now I have a ../patch directory with 50 or so files in it, and patch is spanking me, starting with an ambiguous redirect if the < is used, And while it finds the patch file without it, its reporting an extra operand. So whats todays syntax for a ../dir full of patches?
Example: gene@coyote:~/Debian-arm/linux$ patch -p1 ../patches/*.patch patch: ../patches/0001-mm-memcg-Disable-threshold-event-handlers-on- PREEMPT.patch: extra operand And the man page doesn't address the 'extra operand' error. Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
