patching from different directory

[Carlos Santana <neubyr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy,

I have a diff file in my /var/tmp and would like to apply patch to a
file in a different directory (other than /va/tmp). I tried using
patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work. It complains abt  'patch:
**** Can't open patch file tilda.diff : No such file or directory'. Do
I need to copy my diff file to the directory where original file
resides? Or is there any other way round?
