NAME
       rcsdiff - compareRCS revisions

SYNOPSIS
       rev1] rev2] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       compares	 two  revisions of each given RCS file and creates output very
       similar to (see diff(1)).  A file name ending in is an RCS  file	 name,
       otherwise  it  is  a  working file name.	 derives the working file name
       from the RCS file name and vice versa,  as  explained  in  rcsintro(5).
       Pairs  consisting  of  both  an RCS and a working file name can also be
       specified.

       recognizes the following options:

	      Same as described in
		    diff(1);

	      Same as described in
		    diff(1);

	      Same as described in
		    diff(1);

	      Same as described in
		    diff(1);

	      Generate an edit script of the format used by
		    RCS.

	      Generate a diff with lines of context.
		    The default is to present 3 lines of context.  To  change,
		    specify n; for example, gives 10 lines of context.

		    modifies  the  output  format  slightly  from  the	normal
		    diff(1) output.  The ``context'' output begins with	 iden‐
		    tification of the files involved and their creation dates,
		    then each change is separated  by  a  line	with  a	 dozen
		    (asterisks).   Lines  removed  from	 file1 are marked with
		    (dashes); those added to file2 with (pluses).  Lines  that
		    are	 changed from one file to the other are marked in both
		    files with (exclamation marks).

       If both rev1 and rev2 are omitted, compares the latest revision on  the
       trunk  with  the	 contents  of the corresponding working file.  This is
       useful for determining what was changed since the last check-in.

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

       If  both	 rev1  and rev2 are given, compares revisions rev1 and rev2 of
       the RCS file.

       Both rev1 and rev2 can be given numerically or symbolically.

EXAMPLES
       Compare the latest trunk revision of RCS file and the contents of work‐
       ing file

       Compare the revisions 1.1 and 1.2 in the RCS file
