RCS - Find difference between 2 different versions of a file - UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

kelangovan · #1 (**permalink**) 05-20-2008

Hi,

I have a c file in my repository. We are using RCS(Revision Control System) to control and manage the versions. I need to find

1. Difference between the current version with a different version

2. Difference between any two different versions of a file. Ex Difference between 1.14 and 1.15

Thanks in Advance

Code:

rcsdiff -r1.14 -r1.15 -u file

Leave out the second revision number to compare against your current checked-out version. Leave out both to check your current version against the latest commit. Leave out the -u if you really don't want diff -u output.

Tell your manager it's silly to ask you to use a tool without offering even basic training for its use.
