NAME
       diff2patches - Extract non-debian/ patches from .diff.gz files

SYNTAX
       diff2patches filename
       diff2patches --help|--version

DESCRIPTION
       Extracts  patches  from  .diff.gz which apply to files outside the "debian/" directory scope.  A patch is created for
       each modified file.  Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with "/" replaced by "___",  and
       an extension of ".patch".

OPTIONS
       filename
           Extract patches from filename which apply outside the "debian/" directory.

       --help
           Output help information and exit.

       --version
           Output version information and exit.

FILES
       debian/control
              Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted.

       debian/
       debian/patches/
              Patches  are  extracted  to  one  of  these  directories.   "debian/patches/"  is preferred, if it exists.  If
              DEB_PATCHES is present in the environment, it will override this behavior (see "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" section
              below).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DEB_PATCHES
              When  defined  and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not under "de-
              bian/" nor "debian/patches/".
