.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
If you have a patch file composed of several incremental patches, you can use splitdiff to separate them out\&. You may want to do this in preparation for re\-combining them with \fBcombinediff\fR(1)\&.

.PP
The effect of running splitdiff is to separate its input into a set of output files, with no output file patching the same file more than once\&.
