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.
