Description
This program is designed to apply a patch (DELTA) to a Debian package (FROMFILE) and create the Debian
package (TOFILE). If the Debian package (FROMFILE) was installed in the host system and the .deb file is
not available, then the argument (FROMFILE) may be substituted by the keyword / : then debpatch will get
the needed data from the host filesystem.
Examples
See debdelta(1)
Exit Status
