rdiff

Create output that can be redirected into a file and used with the

GNU (or equivalent) patch program. The output goes to the stan-

dard output. rdiff operates directly from the repository and does

not need to be used from a sandbox. It does, however, require a

filename, directory name, or module name as an argument, and

you must specify one or two revisions or dates. If you specify one

revision or date, rdiff calculates the differences between that date

and the current (HEAD) revision. If two dates are specified, rdiff

calculates the differences between the two. See also diff.

Synonyms: pa, patch
