How to apply "non-unified diff"?

Question

If I create a non-unified diff like so

diff original.txt edited.txt > 1.patch cp original.txt test.txt

I suppose that the first filename should be the untouched/original file, and the second how the original should look after the patch?

How do I then apply the patch to test.txt?

It is as simple as

patch test.txt 1.patch
