Posix diff(1) supports -f option, as specified in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/diff.html So it is a standard, and should be present in all posixly correct diff implementations (GNU, BSD, Solaris, ...).
It can be useful to build an explicit patch command in the web server, and also to make delta human readable. Marc -- Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dim@ml.free.fr/ To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
