conan.tools.files.patch()

def patch(conanfile, base_path=None, patch_file=None, patch_string=None, strip=0, fuzz=False, **kwargs):

Applies a diff from file (patch_file) or string (patch_string) in the conanfile.source_folder directory. The folder containing the sources can be customized with the self.folders attribute in the layout(self) method.

Parameters:

• patch_file: Patch file that should be applied. The path is relative to the conanfile.source_folder unless an absolute path is provided.

• base_path: The path is a relative path to conanfile.source_folder unless an absolute path is provided.

• patch_string: Patch string that should be applied.

• strip: Number of folders to be stripped from the path.

• output: Stream object.

• fuzz: Should accept fuzzy patches.

• kwargs: Extra parameters that can be added and will contribute to output information.

conan.tools.files.apply_conandata_patches()

def apply_conandata_patches(conanfile):

Applies patches stored in conanfile.conan_data (read from conandata.yml file). It will apply all the patches under patches entry that matches the given conanfile.version. If versions are not defined in conandata.yml it will apply all the patches directly under patches keyword.

The key entries will be passed as kwargs to the patch function.

Example of conandata.yml without versions defined:

from conan.tools.files import apply_conandata_patches

def build(self):
    apply_conandata_patches(self)
