  Patch (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, software suppliers distributed patches on paper tape or on punched cards, expecting the recipient to cut out the indicated part of the original tape (or deck), and patch in (hence the name) the replacement segment.
Applying patches to firmware poses special challenges: re-embedding typically small code sets on hardware devices often involves the provision of totally new program code is provided, rather than simply of differences from the previous version.
Patches sometimes become mandatory to fix problems with libraries or with portions of source code for programs in frequent used or in maintenance.

 Patch (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
patch is a Unix program that updates text files according to instructions contained in a separate file, called a patch file.
The patch file (confusingly also called patch for short) is a text file that consists of a list of differences and is produced by running the related diff program with the original and updated file as arguments.
Patches described here should not be confused with binary patches distributed by closed-source software manufacturers to update binary files containing the program to a new release.

 Patch (Unix) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The patch is typically an update meant to fix technical glitches like (General term for any insect or similar creeping or crawling invertebrate) bugs or to improve the usability or the performance of the previous version of an application.
Patches are often made so that the base directory of the source code tree is included in the diff-file, but are patched from within the base directory of the source code tree, thereby requiring the '-p1' option.
Patch has been ported to (Click link for more info and facts about Cygwin) Cygwin, (Click link for more info and facts about MinGW) MinGW and native (A framework of wood or metal that contains a glass windowpane and is built into a wall or roof to admit light or air) Windows.

 php-deluxe.net - description: Unix
'''Unix''' or '''UNIX''' is a Computer operating+system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of ATT Bell+Labs employees including Ken+Thompson, Dennis+Ritchie, and Douglas+McIlroy.
The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain+text files, command+line+interpreter, hierarchical file+system, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C+programming+language and the so-called Unix+philosophy.
A fundamental simplifying assumption of UNIX was its focus on ASCII text for 100% of its I/O package and the assumption that the machine word was a multiple of 8 bits in size.

 Numerical Recipes V2.10 Patch Upgrade Info
If you see such messages for all the patches, it is possible that you are mistakenly attempting to apply the patches in reverse, or (for C or Fortran) that you already have the latest version, 2.10.
If you downloaded the patch data files by displaying them in your browser and then either copying them to the clipboard or doing a "save as", there is a chance that the EOL convention was not properly preserved.
If the patch program gives messages about unable to find files (other than relating to files that you have chosen not to put in the directory tree), you can usually figure out what is wrong by looking at the lines in the patch data file showing what path is expected to the file in question.

Multiple sockets can add themselves to a multicast address + group, and any packet sent to the multicast address will be distributed + to all unix sockets that have associated themselves with the multicast + address.
