si difffiles
compares the differences between two text files
SYNOPSIS
si difffiles [--context=value] [--[no]ignoreBlanks] [--[no]ignoreCase]
[--[no]ignoreWhitespace] [(-?|--usage)] [(-F file|--selectionFile=file)] [(-N|--no)]
[(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)]
[--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
si difffiles compares the differences between two text files. This is useful when you want to
compare the differences between two arbitrary text files (not members or revisions).
In graphical mode where the -g or --gui option is used, this invokes a dialog box that allows you
to browse for each file. The results appear in MKS Visual Difference.
Note: The dialog box keeps track of the last 10 files in both fields.
Options
This command takes the universal options available to all si commands, as well as some general
options. See the options reference page for descriptions.
--context=value
shows value number of lines of context, before and after each difference between two files.
si difffiles marks lines removed from the first specified file with -, marks lines added
to the second specified file with +, and marks lines changed in both files with !.
--[no]ignoreBlanks
controls whether to ignore blanks when comparing text files. When --ignoreBlanks is
used, all differences involving blanks are ignored except blanks at the start of a line. These
are treated differently than blanks between other characters. The following pair would be
considered different, for example, because of the leading blank:
a b c def
a b c def
--[no]ignoreCase
controls whether to ignore case when comparing files.
--[no]ignoreWhitespace
