However, the results are guaranteed to be correct only when the patch is applied to exactly the same version of the file that the patch was generated from. That is, a sequence of one or more adjacent slashes now counts as a single slash. Your patch is normally compatible if each header's file names all contain the same number of slashes. Defaults for some answers have been changed so that .B patch never goes into an infinite loop when using default answers. Now .B patch exits with status 1 if some hunks failed, or with 2 if there was real trouble.
Spaces are significant in the following list, and operands are required.
