        input contains garbage but no patches.

        if we're going to return NO_DIFF.

        (i_buffer): New var.
        (too_many_lines): New fn.

        (get_some_switches): With CVS 1.9 hack, treat -b foo like -b -z foo,
        not just -z foo.  This change is needed due to recent change in -z.
        * backupfile.c (find_backup_file_name):
        backup_type == none causes undefined behavior;
        this undoes the previous change to this file.

        * patch.c (locate_hunk): Fix bug when locating context diff hunks
        near end of file with nonzero fuzz.

        * util.c (move_file): Don't assume that ENOENT is reported when both
        ENOENT and EXDEV apply; this isn't true with DJGPP, and
        Posix doesn't require it.

        New type, collecting together some output state vars.
        (apply_hunk, copy_till, spew_output, init_output): Use it.

        (longopts, option_help, get_some_switches): New options
        --backup-if-mismatch, --no-backup-if-mismatch.

        Say "Skipping patch." when deciding to skip patch.
        (intuit_diff_type): Look for version-controlled but nonexistent files
        when intuiting file names; set invc accordingly.
        Ignore Index: line if either old or new line is present, and if
        POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set.
        (do_ed_script): Flush stdout before invoking popen, since it may
        send output to stdout.

        * util.h (version_controller, version_get): New decls.

        (HAVE_RAISE): New macro.
        (HAVE_UTIME_H): Define.
        (TZ_is_unset): Do not define; it's not a serious problem with `patch'

        timestamp.
        * util.c: #include <partime.h> for TM_LOCAL_ZONE.

        the patch start, so that another_hunk can skip it properly.

        regularize with other diagnostics.  Fix off-by-one error when setting
        p_input_line when scanning the first hunk to check for deleted files.

        Do not use xxx.h -> xxxh~ hack.

        * util.c: (move_file): Avoid makedirs test when possible even
        if FILESYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN (p) is nonzero.  Don't play
        case-changing tricks to come up with backup file name; it's
        not portable to case-insensitive file systems.
        * common.h (ISLOWER): Remove.

        * inp.c (scan_input): Don't use Plan A if (debug & 16).

        * patch.c (shortopts): Add -g, -G.

        Append rules for chdirsaf.o, chdirsaf.c; clean chdirsaf.c at the end.
        * pc/djgpp/configure.bat: Append CR to each line; DOS needs this.
        Don't use | as sed s delimiter; DOS can't handle it.

        * inp.c (get_input_file):
        Use patch_get, not backup_type, to decide whether to
        get from RCS or SCCS.  Use the word `get' in diagnostics.
        * patch.c (main): Initialize patch_get from PATCH_GET.
        Omit DEFAULT_VERSION_CONTROL hook; it just leads to nonstandarization.
        (longopts, option_help, get_some_switches): Add support for -g, -G.
        (option_help): Add bug report address.
        * common.h (patch_get): New decl.

        deleted, look at replacement, not pattern.
        If there is a mismatch between existence of file and whether the
        patch claims to change whether the file exists, ask whether to
        reverse the patch.
        (another_hunk): New parameter REV specifying whether to reverse the
        hunk.  All callers changed.
        (do_ed_script): Add assertion to ensure input file exists.

        (main): New environment var PATCH_VERSION_CONTROL overrides VERSION_CONTROL.
        Don't assert(hunk) if we're skipping the patch; we may not have any hunks.

        Don't chmod output file if input file did not exist.
        chmod rej file to input file's mode minus executable bits.
        (locate_hunk): Go back to old way of a single fuzz parameter, but
        handle it more precisely: context diffs with partial contexts

        $(PACKAGE).
        (TAGS): Scan $(HDRS).

        (max_backup_version): Args are now const *.
        (version_number): Simplify digit checking.
        (basename, concat, dirname): Remove.
        (argmatch, invalid_arg): Move to argmatch.c.  Simplify test for
        ambiguous args.  When reporting an error, use program_name not "patch".
        (addext): Move to addext.c.  Treat all negative values from pathconf
        like -1.  Always use long extension if it fits, even if the filesystem
        does not support long file names.
        (backup_types): Now const.

        * common.h, inp.h (XTERN): Renamed from EXT to avoid collision
        with errno.h reserved name space.

        * common.h (DEBUGGING): Now an integer; default is 1.
        (enum diff): New type.
        (diff_type): Use it instead of small integers.
        (CONTEXT_DIFF, NORMAL_DIFF, ED_DIFF, NEW_CONTEXT_DIFF, UNI_DIFF):
        Now enumerated values instead of macros.
        (NO_DIFF): New enumerated value (used instead of 0).
        (volatile): Default to the empty string if __STDC__ is not defined.
        (<signal.h>): Do not include.
        (Chmod, Close, Fclose, Fflush, Fputc, Signal, Sprintf, Strcat,

        not needed for GNU coding standards.
        (INITHUNKMAX): Move to pch.c.
        (malloc, realloc, INT_MIN, MAXLINELEN, strNE, strnNE,
        Reg1, Reg2, Reg3, Reg4, Reg5, Reg6, Reg7, Reg8, Reg9, Reg10, Reg11,

        (instat): Renamed from filestat; used for input file now.
        (bufsize, using_plan_a, debug, strippath): Not statically initialized.
        (debug): #define to 0 if not DEBUGGING, so that users of `debug'
        no longer need to be surrounded by `#if DEBUGGING'.
        (out_of_mem, filec, filearg, outname, toutkeep, trejkeep): Remove.
        (inname, inerrno, dry_run, origbase): New variables.
        (origprae): Now const*.

        (DEFAULT_VERBOSITY, SILENT, VERBOSE): Values in a new enum.
        (verbose): Removed.
        (VOID): Use `#ifdef __STDC__' instead of`#if __STDC__',
        for consistency elsewhere.
        (__attribute__): New macro (empty if not a recent GCC).
        (fatal_exit): Renamed from my_exit.

        && !HAVE_MEMCHR.

        as a macro.
        (popen, strcpy, strcat, mktemp): Do not declare.
        (lseek): Declare to yield off_t, not long.
        (<fcntl.h>): Include only if HAVE_FCNTL_H.

        * inp.h (get_input_file): New decl.
        * inp.c (SCCSPREFIX, GET, GET_LOCKED, SCCSDIFF, RCSSUFFIX, CHECKOUT,
        CHECKOUT_LOCKED, RCSDIFF): Moved here from common.h.
        (i_ptr): Now char const **.
        (i_size): Remove.
        (TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM): Define only if not already defined.
        (plan_a, plan_b): Arg is now const *.
        (report_revision): Declare before use.  It's now the caller's
        responsibility to test whether revision is 0.
        (scan_input, report_revision, get_input_file):
        Be less chatty unless --verbose.
        (get_input_file): New function, split off from plan_a.
        Reuse file status gotten by pch if possible.  Allow for dry run.
        Use POSIX bits for creat, not number.  Check for creation and
        close failure, and use fstat not stat.  Use memcpy not strncpy.
        (plan_a): Rewrite for speed.
        Caller now assigns result to using_plan_a.
        Don't bother reading empty files; during dry runs they might not exist.
        Use ISSPACE, not isspace.
        (plan_b): Allow for dry runs.  Use ISSPACE, and handle sign extension
        correctly on arg.  Use POSIX symbol for open arg.

        * patch.c (backup, output, patchname, program_name): New vars.
        (last_frozen_line): Moved here from inp.h.
        (TMPREJNAME): Moved here from common.h.
        (optind_last): Removed.
        (do_defines, if_defined, not_defined, else_defined, end_defined):
        Now char const.  Prepend with \n (except for not_defined) to
        allow for files ending in non-newline.
        (Argv): Now char*const*.
        (main, get_some_switches): Exit status 0 means success,
        1 means hunks were rejected, 2 means trouble.
        (main, locate_hunk, patch_match): Keep track of patch prefix context
        separately from suffix context; this fixes several bugs.
        (main): Initialize bufsize, strippath.
        Be less chatty unless --verbose.
        No more NODIR; always have version control available.
        Require environment variables to be nonempty to have effect.
        Add support for --dry-run, --output, --verbose.
        Invoke get_input_file first, before deciding among do_ed_script,
        plan_a, or plan_b.
        Clear ofp after closing it, to keep discipline that ofp is either
        0 or open, to avoid file descriptor leaks.  Conversely, rejfp doesn't
        need this trick since static analysis is enough to show when it
        needs to be closed.
        Don't allow file-creation patches to be applied to existing files.
        Misordered hunks are now not fatal errors; just go on to the next file.
        It's a fatal error to fall back on plan B when --output is given,
        since the moving hand has writ.
        Add support for binary files.
        Check for I/O errors.
        chmod output file ourselves, rather than letting move_file do it;
        this saves global state.
        Use better grammar when outputting hunks messages, e.g. avoid
        `1 hunks'.
        (main, reinitialize_almost_everything):
        Remove support for multiple file arguments.
        Move get_some_switches call from reinitialize_almost_everything
        to main.
        (reinitialize_almost_everything): No need to reinitialize things
        that are no longer global variables, e.g. outname.
        (shortopts): Remove leading "-"; it's no longer important to
        return options and arguments in order.  '-b' no longer takes operand.
        -p's operand is no longer optional.  Add -i, -Y, -z.  Remove -S.
        (longopts): --suffix is now pared with -z, not -b.  --backup now
        means -b.  Add --input, --basename-prefix, --dry-run, --verbose.
        Remove --skip.  --strip's operand is now required.
        (option_help): New variable.  Use style of current coding standards.
        Change to match current option set.
        (usage): Use it.
        (get_some_switches): Get all switches, since `+' is defunct.
        New options -i, -Y, -z, --verbose, --dry-run.
        Option -S removed.
        -b now means backup (backup_type == simple), not simple_backup_suffix.
        -B now implies backup, and requires nonempty operand.
        -D no longer requires first char of argument to be an identifier.
        `-o -' is now disallowed (formerly output to regular file named "-").
        -p operand is now required.
        -v no longer needs to cleanup (no temp files can exist at that point).
        -V now implies backup.
        Set inname, patchname from file name arguments, if any;
        do not set filearg.  It's now an error if extra operands are given.
        (abort_junk): Check for write errors in reject file.
        (apply_hunk, copy_till): Return error flag, so that failure to apply
        out-of-order hunk is no longer fatal.
        (apply_hunk): New arg after_newline,
        for patching files not ending in newline.
        Cache ofp for speed.  Check for write errors.
        (OUTSIDE, IN_IFNDEF, IN_IFDEF, IN_ELSE): Now part of an enumerated type
        instead of being #defined to small integers.
        Change while-do to do-while when copying !-part for R_do_defines,
        since condition is always true the first time through the loop.
        (init_output, init_reject): Arg is now const *.
        (copy_till, spew_output): Do not insert ``missing'' newlines;
        propagate them via new after_newline argument.
        (spew_output): Nothing to copy if last_frozen_line == input lines.
        Do not close (ofp) if it's null.
        (dump_line): Remove.
        (similar): Ignore presence or absence of trailing newlines.
        Check for only ' ' or '\t', not isspace (as per POSIX.2).
        (make_temp): Use tmpnam if mktemp is not available.
        (cleanup): New function.
        (fatal_exit): Use it.  Renamed from my_exit.
        Take signal to exit with, not exit status (which is now always 2).

        * pch.h, pch.c (pch_prefix_context, pch_suffix_context):
        New fns replacing pch_context.
        (another_hunk): Now yields int, not bool; -1 means out of memory.
        Now takes difftype as argument.
        (pch_write_line): Now returns boolean indicating whether we're after
        a newline just after the write, for supporting non-text files.
        * pch.c (isdigit): Remove; use ISDIGIT instead.
        (INITHUNKMAX): Moved here from common.h.
        (p_context): Removed.  We need to keep track of the pre- and post-
        context separately, in:
        (p_prefix_context, p_suffix_context): New variables.
        (bestguess): Remove.
        (open_patch_file): Arg is now char const *.
        Copy file a buffer at a time, not a char at a time, for speed.
        (grow_hunkmax): Now returns success indicator.
        (there_is_another_patch, skip_to, another_hunk, do_ed_script):
        Be less chatty unless --verbose.
        (there_is_another_patch):
        Avoid infinite loop if user input keeps yielding EOF.
        (intuit_diff_type): New returns enum diff, not int.
        Strip paths as they're being fetched.
        Set ok_to_create_file correctly even if patch is reversed.
        Set up file names correctly with unidiff output.
        Use algorithm specified by POSIX 1003.2b/D11 to deduce
        name of file to patch, with the exception of patches
        that can create files.
        (skip_to): Be verbose if !inname, since we're about to ask the
        user for a file name and the context will help the user choose.
        (another_hunk): Keep context as LINENUM, not int.
        If the replacement is missing, calculate its context correctly.
        Don't assume input ends in newline.
        Keep track of patch prefix context separately from suffix context;
        this fixes several bugs.
        Don't assume blank lines got chopped if the replacement is missing.
        Report poorly-formed hunks instead of aborting.
        Do not use strcpy on overlapping strings; it's not portable.
        Work even if lines are incomplete.
        Fix bugs associated with context-less context hunks,
        particularly when patching in reverse.
        (pget_line): Now takes just 1 arg; instead of second arg,
        just examine using_plan_a global.  Return -1 if we ran out
        of memory.
        (do_ed_script): Now takes output FILE * argument.
        Take name of editor from ED_PROGRAM instead of hardwiring /bin/ed.
        Don't bother unlinking TMPOUTNAME.
        Check for popen failure.
        Flush pipe to check for output errors.
        If ofp is nonzero, copy result to it, instead of trying to
        move the result.

        * util.h, util.c (say1, say2, say3, say4, fatal1, fatal2, fatal3,
        fatal4, pfatal1, pfatal2, pfatal3, pfatal4, ask1, ask2, ask3, ask4):
        Remove; replaced with following.
        (ask, say, fatal, pfatal): New stdarg functions.
        (fetchname): Remove last, `assume_exists' parameter.

        (vararg_start): New macro.
        (va_dcl, va_start, va_arg, va_end): Define if neither <stdarg.h>
        nor <varargs.h> are available.

        SIGCHLD isn't.
        (private_strerror): Remove.
        (move_file): Remove option of moving to stdout.
        Add support for -Y, -z.
        Don't assume chars in file name are nonnegative.
        Use copy_file if rename fails due to EXDEV;
        report failure if rename fails for any other reason.
        (copy_file, makedirs): Use POSIX symbols for permissions.
        (copy_file): Open source before destination.

        (fatal, pfatal, say): New functions that use stdarg.
        All callers changed.
        (zask): Renamed from `ask'.  Now uses stdarg.  Output to stdout,
        and read from /dev/tty, or if that cannot be opened, from
        stderr, stdout, stdin, whichever is first a tty.
        Print "EOF" when an EOF is read.  Do not echo input.
        (sigs): New array.

        SIG_UNBLOCK, SIG_SETMASK, sigprocmask, sigblock, sigsetmask):
        Define substitutes if not available.
        (initial_signal_mask, signals_to_block): New vars.
        (fatal_exit_handler): New function, if !HAVE_SIGACTION.
        (set_signals, ignore_signals): Use sigaction and sigprocmask style
        signal-handling if possible; it doesn't lose signals.
        (set_signals): Default SIGCHLD to work around SysV fork+wait bug.
        (mkdir): First arg is now const *.
        (makedirs): Handle multiple adjacent slashes correctly.
        (fetchname): Do not worry about whether the file exists
        (that is now the caller's responsibility).
        Treat a sequence of one or more slashes like one slash.
        Do not unstrip leading directories if they all exist and if
        no -p option was given; POSIX doesn't allow this.
        (memcmp): Remove (now a macro in common.h).

        * version.c (copyright_string, free_software_msgid, authorship_msgid):
        New constants.
        (version): Use them.  Use program_name instead of hardwiring it.

        * patch.man: Generate date from RCS Id.
        Rewrite to match the above changes.

Fri Jul 30 02:02:51 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * configure.in (AC_HAVE_FUNCS): Add mkdir.

        * common.h (Chmod, Fputc, Write, VOID): New macros.
        (malloc, realloc): Yield `VOID *', not `char *'.

        * Makefile.in (config.status): Run config.status --recheck, not
        configure, to get the right args passed.

Thu Jul 29 07:46:16 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * The following changes remove all remaining fixed limits on memory,
        and fix bugs in patch's handling of null bytes and files that do not
        end in newline.  `Patch' now works on binary files.

        * backupfile.c (find_backup_file_name): Don't dump core if malloc fails.

        * EXTERN.h, INTERN.h (EXITING): New macro.
        * backupfile.[ch], patch.c, pch.c: Add PARAMS to function declarations.

        * common.h (bool): Change to int, so ANSI C prototype promotion works.
        (CANVARARG): Remove varargs hack; it wasn't portable.
        (filearg): Now a pointer, not an array, so that it can be reallocated.
        (GET*, SCCSDIFF, CHECKOUT*, RCSDIFF): Quote operands to commands.
        (my_exit): Declare here.
        (BUFFERSIZE, Ctl, filemode, Fseek, Fstat, Lseek, MAXFILEC, MAXHUNKSIZE,
        Mktemp, myuid, Null, Nullch, Nullfp, Nulline, Pclose, VOIDUSED): Remove.
        All invokers changed.
        (Argc, Argv, *define[sd], last_offset, maxfuzz, noreverse, ofp,
        optind_last, rejfp, rejname): No longer externally visible; all
        definers changed.
        (INT_MAX, INT_MIN, STD*_FILENO, SEEK_SET): Define if the underlying
        system doesn't.  Include <limits.h> for this.

        * configure.in: Add limits.h, memcmp.  Delete getline.

        * inp.c (tibufsize): New variable; buffers grow as needed.
        (TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM): New macro.
        (report_revision): New function.
        (plan_a): Do not search patch as a big string, since that fails
        if it contains null bytes.
        Prepend `./' to filenames starting with `-', for RCS and SCCS.
        If file does not match default RCS/SCCS version, go ahead and patch
        it anyway; warn about the problem but do not report a fatal error.
        (plan_b): Do not use a fixed buffer to read lines; read byte by byte
        instead, so that the lines can be arbitrarily long.  Do not search
        lines as strings, since they may contain null bytes.
        (plan_a, plan_b): Report I/O errors.

        * inp.c, inp.h (rev_in_string): Remove.
        (ifetch): Yield size of line too, since strlen no longer applies.
        (plan_a, plan_b): No longer exported.

        * patch.c (abort_hunk, apply_hunk, patch_match, similar):
        Lines may contain NUL and need not end in newline.
        (copy_till, dump_line): Insert newline if appending after partial line.
        All invokers changed.
        (main, get_some_switches, apply_hunk): Allocate *_define[ds], filearg,
        rejname dynamically.
        (make_temp): New function.

        NULs.
        (another_hunk): The patch file may contain lines starting with '\',

        * util.c, util.h (say*, fatal*, pfatal*, ask*): Delete; these
        pseudo-varargs functions weren't ANSI C.  Replace by macros

        and look in /usr/ccs/bin, to make SVR4 happier.
        Recognize m68k predefine.

        * Makefile.SH: Change clean, distclean, and realclean targets a
        little so they agree with the GNU coding standards.
        Add Makefile to addedbyconf, so distclean removes it.

        * Configure: Recognize Domain/OS C library in /lib/libc.
        From mmuegel@mot.com (Michael S. Muegel).

        * pch.c: Fixes from Wayne Davison:
        Patch now accepts no-context context diffs that are
        specified with an assumed one line hunk (e.g.  "*** 10 ****").
        Fixed a bug in both context and unified diff processing that would
        put a zero-context hunk in the wrong place (one line too soon).
        Fixed a minor problem with p_max in unified diffs where it would
        set p_max to hunkmax unnecessarily (the only adverse effect was to
        not supply empty lines at eof by assuming they were truncated).

        declaration and tests to determine its return value type.  It
        conflicts with ANSI C systems' prototypes in stdio.h and the
        return value of sprintf is never used anyway -- it's always cast
        to void.

        * pch.c (another_hunk): Fix from Wayne Davison to recognize
