Unix patch program

[Kevin Williams]

I have been using Eclipse to apply patches from contributors and I 
continue to have problems when patches contain additions.  I would like 
to try the Unix patch utility.  Can someone provide the options needed 
when using the Unix "patch" command to apply a patch created from some 
relative location, to the same location to be patched?  I think I just 
need the correct value for "p":

   patch -pnum <patchfile  

Thanks,
--Kevin
