Synopsis
gpatch [options] [original[patchfile]]
This is Sun’s version of GNU patch. On Solaris, /usr/bin/patch is a much older version of Larry Wall’s original patch program. The GNU version is more functional and is generally recommended. For backwards compatibility, the original patch is left in place, and this version is provided for those who want it. For more information, see patch in the earlier section "Alphabetical Summary of Common Commands.”
