diff(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities diff(1)
Message: "filename": system error
Cause: See syserror(3).
Action: See syserror(3).
Message: files too large, trying "–h" option ...
Cause: You specified the –H option, but there were not enough free system resources to
handle the files. diff will now try to compare the files using the –h option.
Action: If you are comparing these two files again, specify the –h option on the com-
mand line for faster operation.
Message: insufficient memory
Cause: There were not enough free system resources for diff to run, even if it used
the –h option.
Action: Free up more system resources.
Message: insufficient memory (try diff –h)
Cause: diff ran out of system resources when generating the data structures used in
the differencing algorithm (see LIMITS).
Action: The –h option of diff requires fewer system resources than the regular diff
algorithm. This may allow it to succeed where the regular algorithm fails.
Message: internal error--cannot create temporary file
Cause: diff was unable to create a working file that it needed.
Action: Ensure that you either have a /tmp directory or that the environment contains a
variable
TMPDIR
which names a directory where diff can store temporary
files. Also, ensure that you have sufficient permissions on this directory to cre-
ate a temporary file.
Message: Missing #ifdef symbol after –D
Cause: You did not specify a conditional label on the command line after the –D
option.
Action: Provide a conditional label with the –D option.
Message: Missing number after "option" option
Cause: You specified option but did not specify a number following it.
Action: Specify a number following the option option.
Message: only one file may be "–"
Cause: Only one of the two files being compared may be the standard input.
Action: Specify – (standard input) as, at most, one of the two files to be compared.
Message: read error on file "filename": system error
Cause: See syserror(3).
Action: See syserror(3).
