.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
\fBKompare\fP is a graphical user interface for viewing the differences
|
|
|
|
|
between two files. It will also optionally create a diff file.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Depending upon what is passed on the command line, Kompare can compare
|
|
|
|
|
documents, display diff files and blend diff files back into original
|
|
|
|
|
documents.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
If an url is given as - then Kompare will read the corresponding file
|
|
|
|
|
from standard input. Thus (for instance) Kompare can be used as:
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
|
cvs diff | kompare \-o \-
|
|
|
|
|

This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Below are the kompare-specific options.
|
|
|
|
|
For a full summary of options, run \fIkompare \-\-help\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-b\fP \fIURL diff\fP
|
|
|
|
|
Blends \fIdiff\fP into URL. \fIdiff\fP is expected to be diff output and
|
|
|
|
|
\fIURL\fP the file or folder that the diff output needs to be blended into.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-c\fP \fIURL1 URL2\fP
|
|
|
|
|
Compares \fIURL1\fP with \fIURL2\fP. This is the default mode if two
|
|
|
|
|
URLs are passed.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-n\fP
|
|
|
|
|
Used with \fB\-o\fP to stop Kompare from checking for the original file.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-o\fP \fIdiff\fP
|
|
|
|
|
Opens the given diff file. This is the default mode if only one URL is
|
|
|
|
|
passed.
|
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
|
Kompare will check to see if it can find
|
|
|
|
|
the original file(s). If it can, it will blend the original file(s) into
|
|
|
|
|
the diff output and show the result in the viewer. Passing \fB\-n\fP
|
|
|
|
|
will disable this check.
|
|
|
|
|
