src: aliases: - patchfile description: - Path of the patch file as accepted by the GNU patch tool. If C(remote_src) is 'no', the patch source file is looked up from the module's I(files) directory. required: true dest: aliases: - originalfile description: - Path of the file on the remote machine to be patched. - The names of the files to be patched are usually taken from the patch file, but if there's just one file to be patched it can specified with this option. strip: default: 0 description: - Number that indicates the smallest prefix containing leading slashes that will be stripped from each file name found in the patch file.
