+If \fIpattern\fR is specified, and the pattern is not yet installed,
+all packages required and recommended by the pattern will be installed.
+A pattern is considered installed if all the packages and patterns
+it requires are installed. Thus a pattern can be evalueated as installed
+even if you do not install the pattern itself, but rather the packages
+it requries. Use \fBzypper search -t pattern [name]\fR to look for available
+patterns and \fBzypper info -t pattern <name>\fR to list its contents.
+
+If \fIpatch\fR is specified, zypper will install and/or remove packages
+to satisfy specified patch. This is a way to ensure that specific
+bug fix is installed. Like patterns, patches can also be evaluated as installed
+by installing the packages needed to satisfy the patch.
+Use \fBzypper list-patches\fR to look for available

+information about a patch.
