+--inaccurate-eof::

created by such diff programs do not record incomplete lines
correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by
working around this bug.
---verbose::
+-v, --verbose::
Report progress to stderr. By default, only a message about the
current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
additional information to be reported.
