+NAME
+----
+git-applypatch - Apply one patch extracted from an e-mail
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-applypatch' <msg> <patch> <info> [<signoff>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See
+gitlink:git-am[1] instead.
+
+Takes three files <msg>, <patch>, and <info> prepared from an
+e-mail message by 'git-mailinfo', and creates a commit. It is
+usually not necessary to use this command directly.
+
+This command can run `applypatch-msg`, `pre-applypatch`, and
+`post-applypatch` hooks. See link:hooks.html[hooks] for more
+information.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+<msg>::
+ Commit log message (sans the first line, which comes
+ from e-mail Subject stored in <info>).
+
+<patch>::
+ The patch to apply.
+
+<info>::
+ Author and subject information extracted from e-mail,
+ used on "author" line and as the first line of the
+ commit log message.
