Default How does patching work?

I've just moved from LiteCommerce ASPE to X-cart, so I don't know a lot yet.

It sounds like from the posts, that the updated files are 'patches' that do not overwrite the old files (with custom code or added text in them), but instead take that old file and merge it with the new one; adding any new changes in the update to the existing modified files?

Might anyone be able to clarify how this works?

Thanks!
