     EMPTY_DIR=$(ipfs object new unixfs-dir)
     BAR=$(echo "bar" | ipfs add -q)
-    ipfs patch $EMPTY_DIR add-link foo $BAR
+    ipfs object patch $EMPTY_DIR add-link foo $BAR
 
 This takes an empty directory, and adds a link named foo under it, pointing to
 a file containing 'bar', and returns the hash of the new object.
 
-    ipfs patch $FOO_BAR rm-link foo
+    ipfs object patch $FOO_BAR rm-link foo
 
 This removes the link named foo from the hash in $FOO_BAR and returns the
 resulting object hash.
