parsePatch Function

Parameters

Return Value

Functionality

The parsePatch function reads a patch file and parses its contents. It iterates over each line in the file, checking for specific patterns to determine what type of information it contains. Specifically, it looks for:

After parsing all lines in the file, the function returns an object containing the summary information.

Filesystem Interactions

The function uses the fs module to interact with the filesystem:
