Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/rcs/doc/rdiff.ms, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: .TL
                      2: Changes to diff
                      3: .PP
                      4: The options -e and -f generate edit scripts that can be used to
                      5: regenerate one file from the other. In these scripts, groups of text lines
                      6: following the a (add) and c (change) commands are terminated with a
                      7: line consisting of a single '.'. This is a botch. I added a new option, -n,
                      8: which works like -f, except that groups of text lines are not terminated
                      9: with '.'. Instead, the number of text lines is given in the command itself.
                     10: The commands are generated in order of increasing line numbers.
                     11: Option -h does not support -n.
                     12: 
                     13: .nf
                     14: Commands generated by diff -n
                     15: 
                     16: d l n      delete lines l..l+n-1
                     17: a l n      add the following n lines after line l.
                     18: ....
                     19: ....
