PATCH(1) PATCH(1)

NAME patch - apply a diff file to an original

SYNOPSIS patch [options] [originalfile [patchfile]]

but usually just

patch -pnum

I already know the syntax. I don't understand what you're telling me. You say to use -p, but what number do I put after it? Please provide more exact details.

You had the order of the arguments backwards. the patch file comes after the original file. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
