✨ NAME ✨

vlpatch — bestie, this is the one that applies a patch with VCS::Lite 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vlpatch [options] original patch

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk, this page is just the quick lowdown on the vlpatch command — not the whole novel, just the vibe. 💅

vlpatch is a program that applies a patch to an original, and it does the whole thing with the VCS::Lite perl module. That's it, that's the gig. Slay. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --output outfile — tell it where the patched file should land.
Not me dropping the crucial lore here: if --output is not specified, the patched file is put in place of the original, and the original is renamed to *.orig. So like… your og file gets a little glow-up name change, no cap. 👑
