.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
For each file modified by a patch, if the patch hunk contains the
\fIREGEX\fR
then the file\*(Aqs name is printed\&.
.PP
The regular expression is treated as POSIX Basic Regular Expression syntax, unless the
\fB\-E\fR
option is given in which case POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax is used\&.
.PP
For example, to see the patches in
my\&.patch
which contain the regular expression
\(lqpf_gfp_mask\(rq, use:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
grepdiff pf_gfp_mask my\&.patch | \e
  xargs \-rn1 filterdiff my\&.patch \-i
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-line\-number\fR

components of the pathname before displaying it\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-addprefix\fR=\fIPREFIX\fR
.RS 4
