;;; Commentary:
;;  ----------

;; Never read that diff output again!
;; Apply patch selectively, like a pro!
;; Merge with ease!

;; This package provides a convenient way of simultaneous browsing through
;; the differences between a pair (or a triple) of files or buffers.  The
;; files being compared, file-A, file-B, and file-C (if applicable) are
;; shown in separate windows (side by side, one above the another, or in
;; separate frames), and the differences are highlighted as you step
;; through them.  You can also copy difference regions from one buffer to
;; another (and recover old differences if you change your mind).

;; In addition, Ediff can apply a patch to a file and then let you step
;; though both files, the patched and the original one, simultaneously,
;; difference-by-difference.  You can even apply a patch right out of a
;; mail buffer, i.e., patches received by mail don't even have to be saved.
;; Since Ediff lets you copy differences between buffers, you can, in
;; effect, apply patches selectively (i.e., you can copy a difference
;; region from file_orig to file, thereby undoing any particular patch that
;; you don't like).

;; Ediff is aware of version control, which lets the user compare
;; files with their older versions. Ediff can also work with remote and
;; compressed files. Details are given below.

;; This package builds upon the ideas borrowed from emerge.el and
;; several Ediff's functions are adaptations from emerge.el. 
;; Much of the functionality of Ediff is also influenced by emerge.el.

;; The present version of Ediff supersedes Emerge. It provides a superior
;; user interface and has many features not found in Emerge. In particular,
;; it can do patching and 2-way and 3-way file comparison in addition to
;; merging.



;;; Compilation
;;  -----------
;;
;; When you byte-compile Ediff, you will get some warnings about functions
;; being undefined.  These can be safely ignored.
;;
;;; Bugs:
;;  -----

;;  1. The undo command doesn't restore deleted regions well. That is, if
;;  you delete all characters in a difference region and then invoke
;;  `undo', the reinstated text will most likely be inserted outside of
;;  what Ediff thinks is the current difference region. (This problem
;;  doesn't seem to exist with XEmacs.)
;;
;;  If at any point you feel that difference regions are no longer correct,
;;  you can hit '!' to recompute the differences.

;;  2. On a monochrome display, the repertoire of faces with which to
;;  highlight fine differences is limited. By default, Ediff is using
;;  underlining. However, if the region is already underlied by some other
;;  overlays, there is no simple way to temporarily remove that residual
;;  underlining. This problem occurs when a buffer is highlighted with
;;  hilit19.el or font-lock.el packages. If this residual highlighting gets
;;  in the way, you can do the following. Both font-lock.el and hilit19.el
;;  provide commands for unhighlighting buffers. You can either place these
;;  commands in `ediff-prepare-buffer-hooks' (which will unhighlight every
;;  buffer used by Ediff) or you can execute them interactively, at any time
;;  and on any buffer.
;;

;;; Change Log:
;;  ----------

;; Thu Feb  3, 1994 

;;     Fixed a bug in ediff-setup-windows that caused control window to
;;     appear in a wrong place when split-window-keep-point is nil
;;     (Thanks to Kevin Broadey <[email protected]>.)
;;
;;     Added mechanism for using faces instead of before/after flags.  This
;;     looks much better on an X display, especially on a color one.
;;     (Thanks to Boris Goldowsky <[email protected]> for the code
;;     that led to ediff-highlight-diff.
;;     Also, thanks to Kevin Esler <[email protected]> for suggestions
;;     regarding highlighting differences on X displays.)
;;
;;     Added functions to apply patches.
;;     (Thanks to Kevin Broadey <[email protected]> for this
;;     suggestion.)

;; Fri Feb  4, 1994 

;;     Added mechanism for toggling vertical/horizontal window split.
;;     (Inspired by a suggestion from Allan Gottlieb
;;     <[email protected]> -- thanks.)
;;
;;     Added mechanism for toggling between highlighting using faces and
;;     highlighting using ASCII flags.
;;
;;     Fixed a problem with undo.  Now, Ediff has smartened up and doesn't
;;     keep undo info on ASCII flags inserted in buffer-A and buffer-B.
;;     So, if you edit the files while browsing through them, undo behaves
;;     as you would expect, i.e., faces/flags don't get in the way.

;; Sun Feb  6, 1994 

;;     Added horizontal scrolling.  Added ediff-position-region to ensure
;;     that difference regions in buffer-A and buffer-B are aligned with
;;     each other.  Disabled ediff-toggle-split when buffers are displayed
;;     in different frames.
;;
;;     Added toggle-window help (Suggested by Boris Goldowsky
;;     <[email protected]>.)
;;     Added functions to copy differences from one buffer to another and to
;;     recover old differences.
;;     Added prefix arguments to ediff-next-difference and
;;     ediff-previous-difference.

;; Tue Feb  8, 1994

;;     Replaced text properties with overlays.  Fixed ediff-setup-windows.
;;     Added ediff-save-buffer to local-write-file-hooks to prevent user
;;     from saving corrupted states. (Thanks to <[email protected]>
;;     for suggestion.)  Instead, Ediff now has a pair of functions for
;;     safe saving of buffers. 
;;     Changed ediff-read-file-name to be more intuitive on ediff-files.
;;     Added ediff-prepare-buffer-hooks. (Thanks to Kevin Esler
;;     <[email protected]> for the idea.)
;;
;;     Cleanups in ediff-patch-file.  Protected ediff-copy-diff against
;;     a bug that Emacs has in kill-region.
;;
;;     Added support for Lemacs. (Thanks to Alastair Burt
;;     <[email protected]> for coercing Ediff into working under Lemacs.)
;;     Added ediff-kill-buffer-carefully and other suggestions by Boris
;;     Goldowsky <[email protected]>.
;;     Refined the protection against interference with highlighting caused
;;     by Hilit19.  Added the variable ediff-third-party-highlighting.
;;     Added mechanisn for unhighlighting regions highlighted with Hilit19
;;     before hightlighting them with Ediff's overlays. (And for
;;     rehighlighting them with Hilit19, when the current difference moves on.)

;; Sun Feb 13, 1994

;;     Added ediff-place-flags-in-buffer and ediff-remote-exit, which are
;;     modifications of Emerge's similar functions.  The difference is that
;;     in Ediff they make ediff-before-flag and ediff-after-flag into
;;     read-only regions, so the user can't change them by mistake.
;;
;;     Adopted a suggestion by Boris Goldowsky <[email protected]>
;;     that led to a more elegant treatment of faces.
;;
;;     Added protection against interference with Font-Lock highlighting
;;     similar to that of Hilit19's protection.

;; Tue Feb 15, 1994

;;     Deleted spurious (auto-save-mode 1) in ediff-control-buffer, which
;;     was causing this buffer to be auto-saved for no good reason.
;;     Added read-only protection to ediff-before/after-flags in Lemacs.
;;     (Thanks to Alastair Burt <[email protected]> for help in testing.)
;;
;;     Further fixes in the XEmacs part.  Changed highlighted region in
;;     ediff-highlight-diff so that an extra character will be highlighted
;;     only if a difference is empty (thereby allowing the user to see where an
;;     insertion or a deletion has taken place).
;;
;;     Simplified interaction with other highlighting packages by giving
;;     Ediff overlays the highest priority. (Taking a cue from
;;     ediff-highlight-diff-lemacs written by Alastair Burt
;;     <[email protected]>.) Zapped ediff-third-party-highlighting
;;     variable and hooks that were previously used to
;;     unhighlight/rehighlight buffers when hilit19/font-lock are on.

;; Fri Feb 18, 1994

;;     Added a bit more sophistication to ediff-read-file-name.  Now,
;;     ediff-files remembers both, the file-A and the file-B directories.
;;     They are offered as defaults when ediff-use-last-dir is set to t.

;; Fri Feb 22, 1994

;;     Added ediff-before-change-guard to remove ASCII highlighting when
;;     the user attempts to change buffer-A/B.  This is needed because
;;     otherwise the undo info may become screwed up in those buffers.
;;     Hitting `h' (ediff-toggle-hilit) on a dumb terminal will toggle
;;     between ASCII highlighting and no highlighting.

;; Fri Feb 24, 1994

;;     Fixed problems with multiple Ediff sessions running simultaneously.

;; Tue Mar 1, 1994

;;     Added vc-ediff, the Ediff interface to vc.el. (Thanks to Eric
;;     Freudenthal <[email protected]> for contributing this
;;     function.) 

;; Sun Mar 6, 1994

;;     Added rcs-ediff, an Ediff interface to RCS via rcs.el. (Thanks to
;;     Alastair Burt  <[email protected]>.)
;;     Some minor improvements.

;; Tue March 15, 1994

;;     Fixed a buglet in defining ediff-current-diff-face-A/B.
;;     (Thanks to Job Ganzevoort  <[email protected]>.) 

;; Tue March 22, 1994

;;     Fixed a bug with ediffing narrowed buffers, reported by Kevin
;;     Broadey <[email protected]>.
;;     Made Ediff to work with files that have incomplete last line.
;;     Made Ediff execute diff and patch using Bourne Shell, which
;;     should eliminate problems with $prompt that some people had.

;; Thu March 24, 1994

;;     Achieved quadratic speedup in the size of the file by replacing the
;;     slow goto-line by forward-line.
;;     Converted demarkation of difference regions
;;     from markers to overlays.  This will later allow us to highlight all
;;     diffs, not just the current one.

;; Wed March 30, 1994

;;     Under X, Ediff now highlights all differences in dim colors and the
;;     current difference in bright colors. Improved XEmacs support.
;;     Changed toggle hilit to cycle through 3 states: highlighting all
;;     diffs, highlighting only the current diff, and highlighting using
;;     ASCII flags.
;;     Added support for difference regions that are not full lines.

;; Fri April 1, 1994

;;     Fixed bugs related to writing buffers A and B.
;;     Added commands `ga', `gb' to jump directly to the closest diff in
;;     buffer A and B, respectively.

;; Fri April 11, 1994

;;     Added `ediff-update-diffs', a function that lets the user recompute
;;     difference regions after extensive editing done to buffers A and B
;;     (bound to `!').

;; Wed April 13, 1994

;;     Added the new feature: refining the current difference region.
;;     This would highlight the precise differences between the regions in
;;     buffer A and B. (A way to implement this was suggested by Boris
;;     Goldowsky <[email protected]>.)
;;
;;     Fixed Ediff to be immune to several different versions of rcs.el
;;     that are currently in distribution.

;; Thu April 14, 1994

;;     Ediff now respects X resources for the faces it uses. It no longer
;;     barks when the colormap has no colors it is using; or when face
;;     fonts can't be italicized, etc.

;; Fri April 15, 1994

;;     Changed `ediff-setup-windows' to minimize the need to delete and
;;     create windows. Now jumps faster from diff to diff.
;;     Added Ediff to the File menu on the menu bar (FSF's version).

;; Mon April 18, 1994

;;     Fixed to work with OS/2's PM-Emacs.

;; Thu April 21, 1994

;;     Lemacs' menus added (thanks to Alastair Burt for the help).

;; Wed April 28, 1994

;;     Fixed ediff-keep-window-config (thanks to Norbert Kiesel 
;;     <[email protected]>), ediff-shell and
;;     ediff-protect-metachars (thanks to Richard Stanton
;;     <[email protected]>). Made access to difference
;;     overlays structure-independent, making it less bug-prone.
;;     Patched ediff-read-file-name to work more intuitively with directory
;;     names (thanks to Kevin Broadey <[email protected]>).

;; Mon May 2, 1994

;;     Added `ediff-frame-has-menubar' to guard against the possibility that
;;     the current frame has no menu bar.

;; Fri May 6, 1994

;;     Fixed buglet in vc-ediff (thanks to Ray Nickson <[email protected]>).

;; Wed May 18, 1994

;;     Modified ediff-read-file-name to not put long file names in the
;;     default prompt area, as suggested by [email protected].
;;     Applied patch supplied by [email protected], fixing a problem with
;;     ediff-diff-to-diff in Lemacs.

;; Tue May 31, 1994

;;     Added ediff-forward-word-function (as suggested by Job Ganzevoort
;;     <[email protected]>).

;; Thu Jun 2, 1994

;;     Added `ediff-toggle-regexp-match', which allows the user to step
;;     through only those difference regions that match some regexp; or,
;;     vice versa, to skip over regions that match a regexp. (This feature
;;     was suggested by Andy Scott <[email protected]>.)
;;     Added ediff-eval-in-buffer, which is a modified emerge-eval-in-buffer.
;;     The function ediff-status-info, bound to `i', now replaces and extends
;;     ediff-file-names and ediff-line-numbers, which were bound to `f'
;;     and `i', respectively.


;; Wed Jun 10, 1994

;;     Improved `ediff-read-file-name' and `ediff-buffers' so they are now
;;     providing more intuitive defaults. Modified `ediff-read-file-name'
;;     so it won't cause problems under OS/2.

;; Fri Jun 24, 1994

;;     Modified ediff-find-file, ediff-files-internal, and made
;;     emerge-verify-file-buffer into ediff-verify-file-buffer so that
;;     Ediff will work correctly with remote and compressed
;;     files. (Suggested by Sandy Rutherford <[email protected]>.)

;; Fri Jun 28, 1994

;;     Fixed ediff-patch-files to work with remote and compressed files.

;; Wed July 20, 1994

;;     Changed menu bar items per RMS's suggestion. Changed odd/even faces
;;     in Lemacs to italic.  Changed ediff-*-face-* variables so that they
;;     will contain names of faces instead of the face internal
;;     representation.  (Copy-face works better with face names than with
;;     face internal representation.  With face internal representation, if
;;     a face vector mentions a font explicitly, copy-face may attempt to
;;     copy this font, which would cause an error if the font has a wrong
;;     size for one of the existing frames.)  Improved the way
;;     mode-line-buffer-identification is set in ediff-setup so that Ediff
;;     will accommodate the way buffers are identified in mode-line.el and
;;     uniquify.el.

;; Fri August 5, 1994

;;     Ediff can now automatically skip over regions that differ only in
;;     the white space and line breaks. This is controled with the variable
;;     `ediff-ignore-similar-regions' and can be toggled on/off by typing
;;     `##'.

;; Mon August 8, 1994

;;     If ediff-save-buffer is invoked with `wd', it'll save the diff
;;     output in a file.

;; Wed August 24, 1994

;;     Fixed ediff-toggle-read-only and ediff-patch-file so that they will
;;     check out version-controled files before modifying them. This will
;;     permit checking the modified versions back in. In earlier
;;     versions, such modifications could be lost, unless the user takes
;;     special care of preserving them.

;; Tue August 30, 1994

;;     Added ediff-submit-report.
;;     Introduced ediff-revision as a uniform way of calling vc.el and
;;     rcs.el. This is controled by ediff-version-control-package
;;     variable. Functions vc-ediff, rcs-ediff are replaced by their
;;     internal versions.

;; Thu September 1, 1994

;;     Made ediff-overlay-put and ediff-move-overlay into bona fide
;;     functions (rather than fset symbols). These now check if overlay's
;;     buffer is alive. If not, overlay is deleted. This overcomes some of
;;     the problems with Lemacs.

;; Thu September 8, 1994

;;     Added ediff-revision-key, ediff-load-version-control and streamlined
;;     vc/rcs-ediff[-internal].  Eliminated dependency on emerge.el.

;; Fri September 23, 1994

;;     Added ediff-windows and ediff-regions.
;;     Changed ediff-setup-windows and related procedures to create
;;     a separate dedicated control frame for each invocation of Ediff.

;; Tue September 27, 1994

;;     Added redraw-display everywhere before creating or deleting
;;     frames. It appears that this cures Emacs' bug where it trashes some
;;     fonts which leads to crashes. Also, some code cleanups and bug fixes.

;; Fri September 30, 1994

;;     Fixed ediff-update-diffs so it'll work correctly with
;;     ediff-windows and ediff-regions. Added narrowing and widening to the
;;     suite of commands available for ediff-windows and ediff-regions.

;; Fri October 7, 1994

;;     Changed ediff-setup-windows to funcall the actual window setting
;;     function, which is either ediff-setup-windows-multiframe or
;;     ediff-setup-windows-plain. Changed all temp file names to use `_'
;;     instead of `.'. Presumably, this makes VMS happier.
;;     Ported to VMS (thanks to Richard Levitte <[email protected]>).
;;     Added ediff-prefer-long-help-message and changed defaults.
;;     Fighting with XEmacs bugs. Made it possible to switch between plain
;;     and multiframe display easier, but XEmacs is still getting confused
;;     at times. Added ediff-check-version and ediff-set-help-message.
;;     Made more sensible temp file names, which is important when
;;     generating context diffs. Added ediff-make-frame-position and
;;     ediff-control-frame-position-function.

;; Wed October 12, 1994

;;     ediff-window-visible-p now makes a call to frame-visible-p
;;     only when window-system is non-nil. Rearranged the block of fset's
;;     so that the wrong things won't be defined when window-system is nil.
;;     Added ediff-revert-buffers-then-recompute-diffs function.
;;     Removed flag-argument from a background call to shell-command.
;;     Added ediff-shell-command to enable custom diff execute in the
;;     background and insert output in ediff-custom-diff-buffer.
;;     Added ediff-shell-command-filter, because XEmacs doesn't have it.
;;     Made ediff-revision set up ediff-job-name to `ediff-revision'.
;;     This enables users do ediff-revision-specific actions on exiting
;;     Ediff using ediff-quit-hooks.
;;     Reshaffled some fset's so that functions for checking color and
;;     faces won't be touched on a non-windowing display.

;; Thu October 20, 1994

;;     Modified ediff-make-fine-diffs so that no fine diffs are computed if
;;     one of the diff regions is empty. Saves time and also works around
;;     the buggy diff program in AIX.
;;     ediff no longer loads the version control package
;;     automatically---only when ediff-revision is called.
;;     Enabled focusing/hiding diff regions that match both or just one of the
;;     regexps. 
;;     Changed ediff-regions to ediff-small-regions. Added ediff-large-regions.
;;     Modified ediff-next/previous-difference to work right when both
;;     skipping regexp matches and skipping similar regions is enabled.
;;     Fixed bugs in positioning the control frame.

;; Fri October 28, 1994

;;     Fixed bugs in ediff-next/previous-difference, ediff-set-visible-region
;;     Changed/added ediff-word-[1-4].

;; Tue November 1, 1994

;;     Made ediff-revision delete the temporary version files it creates.

;; Tue November 29, 1994

;;     Added ediff-swap-buffers. Split ediff-difference-vector into
;;     ediff-difference-vector-A and ediff-difference-vector-B, which
;;     allowed to factor out a lot of stuff.
;;     Made the code buffer-C ready.

;; Thu December 1, 1994

;;     Lotsa bug fixes. Further rationalized the code.
;;     Added ediff-display-help-hooks, ediff-mode-hooks.
;;     Replaced almost identical ediff-scroll-up/down with
;;     ediff-scroll-vertically.
;;     Replaced almost identical ediff-scroll-left/right with
;;     ediff-scroll-horizontally.
;;     Made the code buffer-C ready.

;; Thu December 8, 1994

;;     Added ediff-toggle-wide-display. In plain display, help message is
;;     now centered correctly.

;; Fri December 9, 1994

;;     Added ediff-toggle-multiframe.
;;     Fixed ediff-pop-diff and ediff-copy-diff, so that they will
;;     invoke auto-refining, if necessary.

;; Mon December 12, 1994

;;     Modified ediff-toggle-wide-display so it would funcall
;;     ediff-make-wide-display-function.

;; Tue December 13, 1994

;;     Ediff now chooses its surrogate minibuffer from frame A.

;; Mon December 20, 1994

;;     Added ediff-keymap-setup-hooks.

;; Fri December 23, 1994

;;     Changed the representation in ediff-killed-diffs-alist so that
;;     ediff-save-diff-region and ediff-pop-diff won't be confused when the
;;     user swaps buffers.

;; Mon December 26, 1994

;;     Placated OS/2 by making Ediff to synchronize the call to startup
;;     hooks with the acynchronous process that computes custom diffs.
;;     This has no effect on Unix installations (and VMS?), but
;;     may increase Ediff's startup time under OS/2 by 1 or 2 seconds.

;; Thu December 29, 1994

;;     ediff-recenter now deactivates the mark, so that transient mark mode
;;     highlighting won't interfere with Ediff's highlighting.
;;     Also, ediff-recenter tries to not deiconify control frame, if it is
;;     not needed.

;; Fri December 30, 1994

;;     Small bugs. Worked around the OS/2 bug where
;;     modify-frame-parameters has no effect on iconified frames.  Ediff
;;     now remembers the iconification status of the control frame and uses
;;     it as a preferred way of displaying it when help is toggled
;;     off. (This can be observed only in Emacs (not XEmacs) and only if
;;     the window manager lets icons accept keyboard input.)

;; Tue January 3, 1995

;;     Some futher work on incorporating buffer C in ediff-extract-diffs,
;;     ediff-focus/hide-on-regexp-matches, and
;;     ediff-setup-windows-plain/multiframe. The preceding two functions
;;     now dispatch the appropriate setup function depending on whether the
;;     current job is comparison or merge.

;; Wed January 4, 1995

;;     Made it work under Emacs built without the X support.

;; Fri January 6, 1995

;;     Slightly changed the prompting behavior of ediff-files. Bug fix in
;;     mode-line-buffer-identification.

;; Wed January 18, 1995

;;     Added 3way comparison and support for diff3. Ported to NeXTStep
;;     
;; Fri January 20, 1995

;;     Added ediff-merge-files, ediff-merge-buffers,
;;     ediff-merge-files-with-ancestor, ediff-merge-buffers-with-ancestor,
;;     ediff-merge-revisions, ediff-merge-revisions-with-ancestor.

;; Tue January 24, 1995

;;     Bug fixes. Split into several files.

;; Thu January 26, 1995

;;     `*' is now bound to ediff-make-or-kill-fine-diffs. This lets the
;;     user to kill fine diffs for the current region (by providing a
;;     negative prefix arg), if there are so many of them as to hamper
;;     the viewing.

;; Mon January 30, 1995

;;     Changed ediff-selective-display to ediff-set-visible-region,
;;     ediff-toggle-selective-display to ediff-toggle-narrow-region.
;;     Ediff now turns selective display off before starting. Restores 
;;     selective display on exit.
;;     In 2-way comparison, `a' now copies to buf `b' and `b' to buf `a'.
;;     Previously, the bindings were `ab' and `ba'.

;; Wed February 1, 1995

;;     Added ediff-undo-selective-display (thanks to Stig <[email protected]>).
;;     Rearranged autoloads. Renamed ediff-entry.el into ediff.el and
;;     ediff.el into ediff-util.el.

;; Fri February 3

;;     Added ediff-toggle-show-clashes-only, which is bound to `$'.

;; Fri February 19

;;     Some minor patches from Stig. Also, made ediff-xemacs-p and
;;     ediff-*-job into variables for better performance.
;;     In ediff-setup, diff regions are now computed after buffers A/B/C
;;     are set up. Previously, it didn't work right with selective display.
;;     Also, added ediff-profile to time Ediff commands and
;;     ediff-debug-info for civilized display of the difference vectors
;;     (and possibly more in the future).

;; Tue March 18

;;	Fixed ediff-diff-at-point and ediff-toggle-multiframe.
;;	Added ediff-destroy-control-frame, ediff-window-display-p. The latter
;;      replaces window-system in many cases. Needed because in XEmacs 19.12
;;      window-system returns 'tty on a tty display.
;;	Converted xemacs *screen* nomenclature to *frame*.
;;	Made ediff-patch-buffer cope with buffers that don't visit any file.
;;	Fixed ediff-toggle-read-only so it knows the difference between
;;	version-controlled files and others. It also knows whether we are using
;;	patch or not.
;;	Renamed ediff-windows to ediff-windows-wordwise, added
;;	ediff-windows-linewise. Changed ediff-small/large-regions to
;;      ediff-regions-wordwise/linewise 

;; Tue May 2

;;	Added ediff-documentation. Fixes for XEmacs 19.12.
;;	Merge buffer now assumes the major mode of ediff-default-variant.

;; Mon May 31, 1995

;;     Ediff-revision now takes a prefix argument. Can compare two versions of
;;     the same file. Cleaned up ediff-make-control-frame.
;;     Fixed a bug in ediff-get-visible-buffer-window.
;;     Added ediff-cleanup-hooks, ediff-janitor.
;;     ediff-cleanup-hooks is called before ediff-quit-hooks.


;;; TO DO:
;;  ------
;;
;; 1. Add support for multiple sessions. (At present, one can run
;; multiple Ediff sessions, but they won't be related.) The idea is to
;; have vars local to each control buffer, which will tell which buffer is
;; the next and which is the previous one. The user could then go forward
;; and backward by typing C-SPC and C-DEL (or C-n and C-p).
;; This will probably entail some minor modifications to ediff-setup.
;; The primary use of this feature would be comparing directories of
;; similarly named files and multi-file patch. For the latter, Ediff will
;; have to parse patches to extract the names of files.
