BusyBox v1.17.2
BusyBox v1.19.2
Usage: patch [OPTIONS] [ORIGFILE [PATCHFILE]]

I can not get patch (it does not do any patching) to work with the same syntax
I use with:
patch 2.6.1
Copyright (C) 1988 Larry Wall
Copyright (C) 2003, 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

patch -p0 -N < ../patches/7.3.$b >> ../patches.log

I tried removing the '-N' still it does not do any patching.

I see 'patch:' quite often in your change log.

Is patch working?
If yes, what is the working syntax?
