DIFFERENCES
/SIPP:filespec
Used with the /BINARY option to produce a file that you can use as an input
command file to the save-image patch program (SIPP), where filespec represents
the name of the output file. The file you create with /SIPP can patch the 1st-file
so it matches the 2nd-file. The default file type for the SIPP file is COM.
The following example creates an input command file which, when run with SIPP,
patches DEMOF1.BAK so it matches DEMOF1.SAV:
DIFFERENCES/BINARY/SIPP:PATCH.COM DEMOF1.BAK DEMOF1.SAV
To execute the input command file created by /SIPP, see the Save Image Patch
Program (SIPP)) utility chapter in the RT–11 System Utilities Manual.
/SLP[:filespec]
Creates a command file that, when run with the source language patch utility
(SLP), patches the 1st-file to match the 2nd-file. The default file type is SLP.
If you do not supply a file specification with /SLP, RT–11 displays the command
file at the terminal. The following sample creates the command file PATCH.SLP.
PATCH.SLP can be used as input to the SLP program to patch RTLIB.BAK so
that it matches RTLIB.MAC:
.DIFFERENCES/SLP:PATCH RTLIB.BAK RTLIB.MAC
To execute the command file you create with /SLP, see the Source Language Patch
Program (SLP) chapter in the RT–11 System Utilities Manual.
You cannot use wildcards in a command line with the /SLP option.
/[NO]SPACES
/SPACES, the default, includes spaces and tabs in the file comparison. This is
useful when you must pay careful attention to spacing in text files.
/NOSPACES excludes spaces and tabs from the file comparison. This is useful
when you are comparing two programs with similar contents but different
formats.
/START[:value]
Used with the /BINARY option to specify the starting block number of the file
comparison, where value represents the octal starting block number. With no
value specified for /START, the starting number defaults to the first block in the
file.
/TERMINAL
Displays the list of differences on the terminal. This is the default operation.
/[NO]TRIM
/TRIM ignores tabs and spaces that appear at the ends of source lines. This is
the default setting.
/NOTRIM includes in the comparison spaces and tabs that appear at the ends of
source lines.
