NAME

diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript

SYNOPSIS

diffpp currentfile < diff-file

DESCRIPTION

Diffpp converts diff(1)-program's output files to aformat suitable to be printed with GNU enscript(1). Programannotates the changes with enscript's special escapes so enscript canhighlight the modified portions of the file. All changed and addedlines are printed with gray-background, deleted lines are marked withminus (`-') characters; diffpp prints one minus character foreach deleted line.

EXAMPLES

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

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