                      3: rcsdiff \- compare RCS revisions
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: \fBrcsdiff\fR [ \fB\-biwt\fR ] [ \fB\-cefhn\fR ] [ \fB\-r\fIrev1\fR ] [ \fB\-r\fIrev2\fR ] file ...
                      6: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      7: .I Rcsdiff
                      8: runs \fIdiff\fR (1) to compare two revisions of each RCS file given.
                      9: A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file name, otherwise a
                     10: working file name. \fIRcsdiff\fR derives the working file name from the RCS
                     11: file name and vice versa, as explained in \fIco\fR (1). Pairs consisting
                     12: of both an RCS and a working file name may also be specified.
                     13: .PP
                     14: All options except
                     15: .B \-r
                     16: have the same effect as described in
                     17: .IR diff (1).
                     18: .PP
                     19: If both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR
                     20: are omitted, \fIrcsdiff\fR compares the latest revision on the trunk
                     21: with the contents of the corresponding working file. This is useful
                     22: for determining what you changed since the last checkin.
                     23: .PP
                     24: If \fIrev1\fR is given, but \fIrev2\fR is omitted,
                     25: \fIrcsdiff\fR compares revision \fIrev1\fR of the RCS file with
                     26: the contents of the corresponding working file.
                     27: .PP
                     28: If both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR are given,
                     29: \fIrcsdiff\fR compares revisions \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR of the RCS file.
                     30: .PP
                     31: Both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR may be given numerically or symbolically.
