NAME
       cpif - selectively update files

SYNOPSIS
       cpif [-eq|-ne] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       cpif  is  an auxiliary tool for use with notangle(1) and make(1).  cpif compares its standard input to each of the named files, overwriting
       the file if the comparison succeeds or if the named file does not exist.  If neither -eq or -ne is specified, the default is -ne.   Typical
       usage is in the following default rule, suitable for use in a Makefile.
	.nw.h: ; notangle -Rheader $*.nw | cpif $*.h
