24 !!DESCRIPTION
25
26
27 __rcsdiff__ runs diff(1) to compare two revisions
28 of each RCS file given.
29
30
31 Pathnames matching an RCS suffix denote
32 RCS files; all others denote working files.
33 Names are paired as explained in ci(1).
34
35
36 The option __-q__ suppresses diagnostic output. Zero,
37 one, or two revisions may be specified with __-r__. The
38 option __-k__''subst'' affects keyword substitution
39 when extracting revisions, as described in co(1); for
40 example, __-kk -r1.1 -r1.2__ ignores differences in
41 keyword values when comparing revisions __1.1__ and
42 __1.2__. To avoid excess output from locker name
43 substitution, __-kkvl__ is assumed if (1) at most one
44 revision option is given, (2) no __-k__ option is given,
45 (3) __-kkv__ is the default keyword substitution, and (4)
46 the working file's mode would be produced by __co -l__.
47 See co(1) for details about __-T__, __-V__,
48 __-x__ and __-z__. Otherwise, all options of
49 diff(1) that apply to regular files are accepted,
50 with the same meaning as for __diff__.
51
52
53 If both ''rev1'' and ''rev2'' are omitted,
54 __rcsdiff__ compares the latest revision on the default
55 branch (by default the trunk) with the contents of the
56 corresponding working file. This is useful for determining
57 what you changed since the last checkin.
58
59
60 If ''rev1'' is given, but ''rev2'' is omitted,
61 __rcsdiff__ compares revision ''rev1'' of the
62 RCS file with the contents of the
63 corresponding working file.
64
65
66 If both ''rev1'' and ''rev2'' are given,
67 __rcsdiff__ compares revisions ''rev1'' and
68 ''rev2'' of the RCS file.
69
70
71 Both ''rev1'' and ''rev2'' may be given numerically or
72 symbolically.
