For each patch existing in either the .Pa patches directory, it is compared with its backup file .Pq Pa patch-foo.orig using .Xr diff 1 . .Pp If the .Fl d option is used, .Nm looks for patches in .Ar dir instead of the default .Pa patches directory. If the .Fl D option is used, .Nm looks in .Pa $WRKDIR/.newpatches . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr diff 1 , .Xr mkpatches 1 , .Xr pkgdiff 1
