The +exact behaviour may be tweaked in the future, so one should not rely on it. +.PP +If \fIpatchfile\fR does not apply to \fIorig\fR, even after the special-casing +of \fIdebian/changelog\fR, no changes are made and +.BR debdiff-apply (1) +will exit with a non-zero error code. + +.SH ARGUMENTS +.TP +orig_dsc_or_dir +Target to apply the patch to. This can either be an unpacked source tree, or a +\[char46]dsc file. In the former case, the directory is modified in\-place; in +the latter case, a second .dsc is created.
