       Divide a patch or diff file into pieces. The split can made by file or by hunk basis. This makes is
       possible to separate changes that might not be desirable, or assemble a patch into more coherent set of
       changes.

       The hunk option makes it possible to compare similar patches on a hunk-by-hunk basis using a tool like
       interdiff(1) from the patchutils package.

       None.

       Have  you  ever been working on code, gone off on a side tangent and then realized you don't have a patch
       for the original issue you set out to address?  When you run "diff -u" or some other  diff  command,  you
       discover that you have made multiple sets of changes; some you want to submit, others you don't. What you
       really want to do is break those changes apart and apply only the ones you want. This is where splitpatch
       comes into play, breaking up the patch by source file:

           splitpatch changes.patch

       Or to split the patch file into individual hunks which can later be applied using the patch(1) command:

           splitpatch --hunks changes.patch

       The  --hunk  option writes sequentially numbered files in the current directory named for the source file
       to be patched followed by the sequence number: "*-NNN.patch".

       Otherwise, the split patch files are named by the source file being patched.
