-f
When you specify a particular date or tag to cvs commands, they normally ignore files that do not contain the tag
(or did not exist prior to the date) that you specified. Use the -f option if you want files retrieved even when
there is no match for the tag or date. (The most recent revision of the file will be used).
Note that even with -f, a tag that you specify must exist (that is, in some file, not necessary in every file).
This is so that cvs will continue to give an error if you mistype a tag name.
-f is available with these commands: annotate, checkout, export, rdiff, rtag, and update.
Hi,
Can anyone help me with the following:
I want to make a backup from my (AIX) system.
But I don't want to backup a couple of temp-directories.
I tried it with the X-option, but that didn't work.
I hope that someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a line in my script to find the files changed in the last 24 hours. It is as below:

slack-diff
DIFF(1) User Commands DIFF(1)NAME
slack-diff - compare file contents, modes, etc
SYNOPSIS
slack-diff [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2
DESCRIPTION
A wrapper for diff that displays file modes and other metadata changes.
-u-U NUM --unified[=NUM]
Tell diff(1) to use unified output format.
--diff PROG
Use this program for diffing, instead of diff.
--fakediff
Make a fake diff for file modes and other things that are not file contents. Default is on, can be disabled with --nofakediff.
-r--recursive
Recursively compare any subdirectories found.
-N--new-file
Treat missing files as empty. Default is on, can be disabled with --nonew-file.
--unidirectional-new-file
Treat only missing files in the first directory as empty.
--from-file
Treat arguments as a list of files from which to read filenames to compare, two lines at a time.
-0--null
Use NULLs instead of newlines as the separator in --from-file mode.
--devnullhack
You have a version of diff that can't deal with -N when not in recursive mode, so we need to feed it /dev/null instead of the miss-
ing file. Default is on, can be disabled with --nodevnullhack.
--version
Output version info.
--help Output this help.
FILES are `FILE1 FILE2' or `DIR1 DIR2' or `DIR FILE...' or `FILE... DIR'. If --from-file or --to-file is given, there are no restrictions
on FILES. If a FILE is `-', read standard input.
