OPTIONS

krang_template_patch [options] template_dataset

Arguments:

  template_dataset  - the path to the dataset to which the passed in
                      changes should be applied

Options:

  --patch-options   - options to pass to patch, defaults to "-p1",
                      which is a good setting for patches produced by
                      bric_template_diff.

  --force           - complete the patch operation even if patch returns a
                      non-0 result code.  Defaults off.

  --help            - shows this screen

  --man             - shows the full documentation

  --verbose         - print a running dialogue of operations.  Repeat
                      up to three times of successively larger amounts
                      of debugging information.  If verbose isn't turned
                      on then the -s option is passed to patch to supress
                      extraneous output.
