GENDIFF !!!GENDIFF NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME gendiff - utility to aid in error-free diff file generation !!SYNOPSIS __gendiff__ __ !!DESCRIPTION __gendiff__ is a rather simple script which aids in generating a diff file from a single directory. It takes a directory name and a __patch__ program to recreate the changes. The usual sequence of events for creating a diff is to create two identical directories, make changes in one directory, and then use the __diff__ utility to create a list of differences between the two. Using gendiff eliminates the need for the extra, original and unmodified directory copy. Instead, only the individual files that are modified need to be saved. Before editing a file, copy the file, appending the extension you have chosen to the filename. I.e. if you were going to edit somefile.cpp and have chosen the extension After editing all the files you need to edit in this fashion, enter the directory one level above where your source code resides, and then type $ gendiff somedirectory .fix You should redirect the output to a file (as illustrated) unless you want to see the results on stdout. !!SEE ALSO diff(1), patch(1) !!AUTHOR Marc Ewing ----
