4. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
patch
1. n. A temporary addition to a piece of code, usually as a
quick-and-dirty remedy to an existing bug or misfeature. A patch may or
may not work, and may or may not eventually be incorporated permanently
into the program. Distinguished from a diff or mod by the fact that a
patch is generated by more primitive means than the rest of the program;
the classical examples are instructions modified by using the front panel
switches, and changes made directly to the binary executable of a program
originally written in an HLL. Compare one-line fix.
2. vt. To insert a patch into a piece of code.
3. [in the Unix world] n. A diff (sense 2).
4. A set of modifications to binaries to be applied by a patching program.
IBM operating systems often receive updates to the operating system in the
form of absolute hexadecimal patches. If you have modified your OS, you
have to disassemble these back to the source. The patches might later be
corrected by other patches on top of them (patches were said to ?grow scar
tissue?). The result was often a convoluted patch space and headaches
galore.
5. [Unix] the patch(1) program, written by Larry Wall, which automatically
applies a patch (sense 3) to a set of source code.
There is a classic story of a tiger team penetrating a secure military
computer that illustrates the danger inherent in binary patches (or,
indeed, any patches that you can't ? or don't ? inspect and examine before
installing). They couldn't find any trap doors or any way to penetrate
security of IBM's OS, so they made a site visit to an IBM office (remember,
these were official military types who were purportedly on official
business), swiped some IBM stationery, and created a fake patch. The patch
was actually the trapdoor they needed. The patch was distributed at about
the right time for an IBM patch, had official stationery and all
accompanying documentation, and was dutifully installed. The installation
manager very shortly thereafter learned something about proper procedures.

5. Larry Wall's "patch" utility program, which
automatically applies a patch to a set of source code or
other text files. Patch accepts input in any of the four
forms output by the Unix diff utility. When the files
being patched are not identical to those on which the diffs
were based, patch uses heuristics to determine how to
proceed.
Diff and patch are the standard way of producing and applying
updates under Unix. Both have been ported to other
operating systems.
