NAME

       diffindex-rred - Restricted restricted ed

SYNOPSIS

       diffindex-rred diff1 ...

DESCRIPTION

       diffindex-rred  is  a  command  line  tool for applying diff --ed style
       patches, as used in APT’s diff/Index format. It can  efficiently  apply
       several  patches  in one run and does not need to read the whole source
       file into memory.

       The source file is taken from stdin. The patched  file  is  written  to
       stdout.  Compressed  patch files are decompressed automatically if they
       have the proper .gz, .bz2, or .lzo extension.

       diffindex-rred is used by diffindex-download.
