Here's a little (tiny, pathetic) utility that I occasionally find useful:

I call it "limitpatch.pl"

It's a perl script (sorry purists!) to run on a huge patch file (a la
Linux patches) and pick out just the one you're interested in.

------------------------------8<----------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# called with stdin = a patch stream, arg 1 = a filename
# outputs only the patch that refers to the filename
# peterd@pnd-pc.demon.co.uk

$filename = shift(@ARGV);
while (<STDIN>) {
$patchon = 0 if m#^---#;
$patchon = 1 if m#^\+\+\+.*$filename#;
print if $patchon;
}
------------------------------8<----------------------------

Example of use for the above problem:

gzip -dc patch-2.0.24.gz | limitpatch net/core/sock.c | patch -p1

Cheers,
Peter
