RCSDIFF(1)					       RCSDIFF(1)

NAME
       rcsdiff - compare RCS revisions

SYNOPSIS
       rcsdiff	[ -ksubst ] [ -q ] [ -rrev1 [ -rrev2 ] ] [ -T ] [
       -V[n] ] [ -xsuffixes ] [ -zzone ] [ diff	 options  ]  file
       ...

DESCRIPTION
       rcsdiff	runs diff(1) to compare two revisions of each RCS
       file given.

       Pathnames matching an RCS suffix	 denote	 RCS  files;  all
       others	denote	 working  files.   Names  are  paired  as
       explained in ci(1).

       The option -q suppresses diagnostic output.  Zero, one, or
       two  revisions  may  be	specified  with	 -r.   The option
       -ksubst affects keyword substitution when extracting revi-
       sions, as described in co(1); for example, -kk -r1.1 -r1.2
       ignores differences in keyword values when comparing revi-
       sions  1.1  and	1.2.   To avoid excess output from locker
       name substitution, -kkvl is assumed if  (1)  at	most  one
       revision	 option	 is given, (2) no -k option is given, (3)
       -kkv is the default  keyword  substitution,  and	 (4)  the
       working file's mode would be produced by co -l.	See co(1)
       for details about -T,  -V,  -x  and  -z.	  Otherwise,  all
       options	of  diff(1)  that  apply  to  regular  files  are
       accepted, with the same meaning as for diff.

       If both rev1 and rev2 are omitted,  rcsdiff  compares  the
       latest  revision	 on  the  default  branch (by default the
       trunk) with the	contents  of  the  corresponding  working
       file.   This  is	 useful	 for determining what you changed
       since the last checkin.

       If rev1 is given, but rev2 is  omitted,	rcsdiff	 compares
       revision	 rev1  of  the	RCS file with the contents of the
       corresponding working file.

       If both rev1 and rev2 are given,	 rcsdiff  compares  revi-
       sions rev1 and rev2 of the RCS file.

       Both  rev1  and	rev2 may be given numerically or symboli-
       cally.

EXAMPLE
       The command

	       rcsdiff	f.c

       compares the latest revision on the default branch of  the
       RCS file to the contents of the working file f.c.
