-F LINES --fuzz LINES Set the fuzz factor to LINES for inexact matching.
-l --ignore-whitespace Ignore white space changes between patch and input.
-c --context Interpret the patch as a context difference.
-e --ed Interpret the patch as an ed script.

-u --unified Interpret the patch as a unified difference.
-N --forward Ignore patches that appear to be reversed or already applied.

-D NAME --ifdef=NAME Make merged if-then-else output using NAME.
-E --remove-empty-files Remove output files that are empty after patching.
-Z --set-utc Set times of patched files, assuming diff uses UTC (GMT).
-T --set-time Likewise, assuming local time.
--quoting-style=WORD output file names using quoting style WORD.
Valid WORDs are: literal, shell, shell-always, c, escape.

-f --force Like -t, but ignore bad-Prereq patches, and assume unreversed.
-s --quiet --silent Work silently unless an error occurs.
--verbose Output extra information about the work being done.
--dry-run Do not actually change any files; just print what would happen.
--posix Conform to the POSIX standard.
