**** pcomp.pl 1.2 -- the file-tree compare program ****
Syntax: pcomp.pl {options} [path1] [path2]
compares two directory-trees recursively
options:
--prn-eq -e also give a message for files that are equal
--only-dirs -d compare only directories, not files
--nodirs|-D compare only files, not directories
--file-match -f [regexp]
compare only files that match [regexp]
--file-nomatch -F [regexp]
compare only files that do not match [regexp]
--msg-match -m [regexp]
show only messages that match [regexp]
--msg-nomatch -M [regexp]
show only messages that do not match [regexp]
--nodate ignore differences in the file-date
--nosrc ignore when the source is missing
--nodest ignore when the destination is missing
--tkdiff print a line suitable for tkdiff
-v produce a more verbose output
-p patch [dest] with [source]
--simpatch simulate patch [dest] with [source]
-s show all comparision messages the program can produce
--filter-cvs remove cvs keywords
--filter-cr remove characters
--filter-rstrip remove trailing spaces
--filter-expand expand tab stops
--filter-empty-lines
remove empty lines
--show-diff --show-diffs
execute "diff" on each pair of differing files
NOTE: diff appears ABOVE the line that shows which
files differ
-t --terse-mode
print
where: path: destination path except when flags are "D"
flags: 1st char:
D: deleted (destination missing)
A: added (source missing)
U: updated (source newer)
M: modified (destination newer)
2nd char:
<: source smaller
>: source larger
3rd char:
=: files equal
!: files unequal
-T --terse-mode2
like --terse-mode, but this command prints the paths of both files
