in readme written:
3.5 Patch Installation Instructions for Oracle Instant Client
For OUI based Client-Admin installations, the 'opatch apply' takes care of updating your installation with these latest Instant Client binaries.
For Other types of Instant Client installations, refer Document 1072125.1 How to Apply a Patch to an Oracle Instant Client Installation.
now i go to link 1072125.1 :
An Oracle Instant Client is not a full Client installation. It has only few libraries needed to connect to Oracle Database. It cannot be patched directly.
