       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.
