patch file
 
hi,
how do i make a patch file. Where do i get info about this

It's pretty standard to use the diff command.
Code:
diff -C3 file.c.old file.c.new > patchfile
To update the old file:
Code:
patch file.c.old < patchfile
The .old file will match the .new file exactly. Diff and patch will also work on directories.

well i made a new kernel image and have made changes in many files in the source code. I have the original source code also. But i gotta make a patch file and then try to implement it.

I tried this -
diff -druP /home/myname/origcode /usr/src/linux >patch

now how do i use this patch file to implement my changes in some original code.
thanx in advance
