diffpp

DIFFPP(1)							      DIFFPP								 DIFFPP(1)

NAME

       diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript

SYNOPSIS

       diffpp currentfile < diff-file

DESCRIPTION

       Diffpp converts diff(1)-program's output files to a format suitable to be printed with GNU enscript(1).	Program annotates the changes with
       enscript's special escapes so enscript can highlight the modified portions of the file.	All changed  and  added  lines	are  printed  with
       gray-background, deleted lines are marked with minus (`-') characters; diffpp prints one minus character for each deleted line.

EXAMPLES

       The  easiest  way  to  use diffpp is to use it as an input filter for enscript.	If an input filter is specified for enscript it is used to
       pre-process the incoming data-stream.  Filtering does not alter any header strings or file-timestamps which might be  printed  on  enscript
       headers; only the incoming data is modified.

       enscript -G2re --filter='rcsdiff %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
	       Print the changes between current source files and their latest RCS-versions.

       enscript -G2re --filter='diff %s~ %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
	       Print changes between source files and the corresponding backup-files.
