The dupatch utility
provides a command-line interface that allows dupatch to be called by other programs. You can use the command line to
invoke all functions except for baselining. The functions have the
same operation and definition as the menu-driven interface. For information
about using the command-line interface, see the dupatch(8) reference page, which is installed on your system
when you install the patch-kit tools and is documented in this appendix.
You must specify all mandatory options on the command
line or in a data file. If any mandatory option is missing, the command
will fail with an appropriate error message; it will not prompt you
for the missing option and information.
