    Summary: The GNU patch command, for modifying/upgrading files
    Description: 
    The patch program applies diff files to originals.  The diff command
    is used to compare an original to a changed file.  Diff lists the
    changes made to the file.  A person who has the original file can then
    use the patch command with the diff file to add the changes to their
    original file (patching the file).
