NAME

6       dwfilter - reformat text with dwdiff for further processing

SYNOPSIS

9       dwfilter  [OPTIONS]  OLD  FILE  NEW FILE POST PROCESSOR [POST PROCESSOR
10       OPTIONS]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       dwfilter reformats the text in the old file according to  the  contents
14       of  the new file (or vice versa) and subsequently passes the reformated
15       old file and the new file through a secondary filter. It's main use  is
16       to allow visual diff programs such as meld and kdiff3 to be used, even‐
17       though a text file has been reformated after editing. A further use  is
18       to  allow the creation of small patches even when the new text has been
19       reformated. dwfilter uses dwdiff for reformatting.
20

OPTIONS

22       -r, --reverse
23              Reformat the new file based on the  contents  of  the  old  file
24              instead of the default where the old file is reformated based on
25              the contents of the new file.
26
27       dwfilter accepts the following dwdiff options:
28
29              -d delimiters, --delimiters=delimiters
30              -P, --punctuation
31              -W whitespace, --whitespace=whitespace
32              -i, --ignore-case
33              -I, --ignore-formatting
34              -D option, --diff-option=option
35              -Cnum, --context=num
36              -mnum, --match-context=num
37              --aggregate-changes
38              --wdiff-output
39
40       See the dwdiff manual page for the meaning.
41
42       A single dash (-) as a file can be used to denote standard input.  Only
43       one  file can be read from standard input. To stop dwfilter from inter‐
44       preting file names that start with a dash as options, one can specify a
45       double  dash  (--)  after  which  dwfilter will interpret any following
46       arguments as files to read.
