desc: "HTTP PATCH method annotation describing the parameterized relative path to a REST endpoint for resource update.\n\nThe required value can be either a relative path or an absolute path. When it's an absolute path, it must start with a protocol or a parameterized segment (Otherwise the parse cannot tell if it's absolute or relative).\n\n**Example 1: Relative path segments**\n\n```java\n@Patch(\"subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/\n Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}\")\n  VirtualMachine patch(@PathParam(\"resourceGroupName\") String rgName, @PathParam(\"vmName\") String\n  vmName, @PathParam(\"subscriptionId\") String subscriptionId, @BodyParam VirtualMachineUpdateParameters\n  updateParameters);\n```\n\n**Example 2: Absolute path segment**\n\n```java\n@Patch({vaultBaseUrl}/secrets/{secretName})\n  Secret patch(@PathParam(\"vaultBaseUrl\" encoded = true) String vaultBaseUrl, @PathParam(\"secretName\") String\n  secretName, @BodyParam SecretUpdateParameters updateParameters);\n```"
