        !            10: to compare two revisions of each RCS file given.
        !            11: A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file name, otherwise a
        !            12: working file name. \fIRcsdiff\fR derives the working file name from the RCS
        !            13: file name and vice versa, as explained in
        !            14: .IR co (1L).
        !            15: Pairs consisting
        !            16: of both an RCS and a working file name may also be specified.
        !            17: .PP
        !            18: The options \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-i\fR, \fB\-w\fR, \fB\-t\fR,
        !            19: \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-f\fR, and \fB\-h\fR,
        !            20: have the same effect as described in

        !            22: option
        !            23: \fB\-n\fR generates an edit script of the format used by RCS.
        !            24: The option \fB\-q\fR suppresses diagnostic output.
        !            25: .PP
        !            26: If both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR
        !            27: are omitted, \fIrcsdiff\fR compares the latest revision on the
        !            28: default branch (normally the highest branch on the trunk)
        !            29: with the contents of the corresponding working file. This is useful
        !            30: for determining what you changed since the last checkin.
        !            31: .PP
        !            32: If \fIrev1\fR is given, but \fIrev2\fR is omitted,
        !            33: \fIrcsdiff\fR compares revision \fIrev1\fR of the RCS file with
        !            34: the contents of the corresponding working file.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: If both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR are given,
        !            37: \fIrcsdiff\fR compares revisions \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR of the RCS file.
        !            38: .PP
        !            39: Both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR may be given numerically or symbolically,
