RCSDIFF(1L) UNKNOWN SECTION OF THE MANUAL RCSDIFF(1L)
NAME
rcsdiff - compare RCS revisions
SYNOPSIS
rcsdiff [ -biwt ] [ -cefhn ] [ -q ] [ -r_r_e_v_1 ] [ -r_r_e_v_2 ]
file ...
DESCRIPTION
_R_c_s_d_i_f_f runs _d_i_f_f(1) to compare two revisions of each RCS
file given. A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file name,
otherwise a working file name. _R_c_s_d_i_f_f derives the working
file name from the RCS file name and vice versa, as
explained in _c_o(1L). Pairs consisting of both an RCS and a
working file name may also be specified.
The options -b, -i, -w, -t, -c, -e, -f, and -h, have the
same effect as described in _d_i_f_f(1); option -n generates an
edit script of the format used by RCS. The option -q
suppresses diagnostic output.
If both _r_e_v_1 and _r_e_v_2 are omitted, _r_c_s_d_i_f_f compares the
latest revision on the default branch (normally the highest
branch on the trunk) with the contents of the corresponding
working file. This is useful for determining what you
changed since the last checkin.
If _r_e_v_1 is given, but _r_e_v_2 is omitted, _r_c_s_d_i_f_f compares
revision _r_e_v_1 of the RCS file with the contents of the
corresponding working file.
If both _r_e_v_1 and _r_e_v_2 are given, _r_c_s_d_i_f_f compares revisions
_r_e_v_1 and _r_e_v_2 of the RCS file.
Both _r_e_v_1 and _r_e_v_2 may be given numerically or symbolically,
and may actually be attached to any of the options.
EXAMPLES
The command
rcsdiff f.c
runs _d_i_f_f on the latest revision on the default branch of
RCS file f.c,v and the contents of working file f.c.
DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status is 0 if there were no differences during the
last comparison, 1 if there were differences, and 2 if there
were errors.
