NAME

6       rcsdiff - compare RCS revisions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rcsdiff [ -biwt ] [ -cefhn ] [ -rrev1 ] [ -rrev2 ] file ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Rcsdiff  runs diff (1) to compare two revisions of each RCS file given.
13       A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file  name,  otherwise  a  working
14       file name. Rcsdiff derives the working file name from the RCS file name
15       and vice versa, as explained in co (1). Pairs consisting of both an RCS
16       and a working file name may also be specified.
17
18       All options except -r have the same effect as described in diff(1).
19
20       If both rev1 and rev2 are omitted, rcsdiff compares the latest revision
21       on the trunk with the contents of the corresponding working file.  This
22       is useful for determining what you changed since the last checkin.
23
24       If  rev1  is given, but rev2 is omitted, rcsdiff compares revision rev1
25       of the RCS file with the contents of the corresponding working file.
26
27       If both rev1 and rev2 are given, rcsdiff compares  revisions  rev1  and
28       rev2 of the RCS file.
29
30       Both rev1 and rev2 may be given numerically or symbolically.
