.TH XXDIFF-SCRIPTS 1 "02 March 2008" .SH NAME xxdiff-scripts \- Tools that allow automation of tasks with xxdiff .SH SYNOPSIS .B xx-cvs-diff, xx-svn-diff, xx-* .br .SH DESCRIPTION \fBxxdiff(1)\fP is a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool. .PP xxdiff-scripts is a collection of python scripts around xxdiff that allows automation of various diff, review and merge tasks using xxdiff. .SH COMMANDS All the programs in xxdiff-scripts script collection support the usual GNU command line syntax and have a \-\-help option that has detailed information about the options supported. .TP .B svn-foreign svn-foreign runs 'svn status' on the given Subversion checkout directories, to find out which files are unaccounted for and allows dealing with the files interactively. .TP .B termdiff This is a single file, curses-based version of xxdiff in Python (work-in-progress). .TP .B xx-cond-replace xx-cond-replace is a script to conditionally replace an original by a generated file. .TP .B xx-cvs-diff xx-cvs-diff invokes 'cvs diff' with the given file arguments, and allows a xxdiff preview of the current changes made in a cvs checkout. .TP .B xx-cvs-revcmp xx-cvs-revcmp displays file differences with the current or a previous CVS version. .TP .B xx-diff-proxy xx-diff-proxy is a wrapper script for xxdiff that presents options that are the same as the diff or diff3 commands. This can be used with programs that expect to call diff/diff3 to present differences to users, and can be configured with a different diff program. .TP .B xx-encrypted xx-encrypted is a script to compare and merge contents of encrypted files relatively safely. .TP .B xx-filter xx-filter walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed, performs replacements in files and confirms the application of changes via xxdiff. .TP .B xx-find-grep-sed xx-find-grep-sed walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and performs global sed-like replacements in the set of files. .TP .B xx-hg-merge xx-hg-merge implements an interface compatible with hgmerge. Basically, it needs to exit with 0 on success, and to place the results of the merge in the 'left' file. .TP .B xx-match xx-match is a script for invoking xxdiff on matching files using the basename of the files. .TP .B xx-p4-unmerge A wrapper script that will split up a p4 file with merge conflicts to three files and invoke xxdiff on it. .TP .B xx-pyline xx-pyline walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and runs a given Python code on each line of the input. xxdiff is presented to confirm application of the changes. .TP .B xx-rename xx-rename walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and perform a replacement of a one string to another in the files and confirm the application of changes via xxdiff. .TP .B xx-sql-schemas xx-sql-schemas dumps the schemas for two PostgreSQL databases, re-orders the contents so that they diff nicely, and spawns xxdiff on the results. .TP .B xx-svn-diff xx-svn-diff invokes xxdiff for all modified files in the given Subversion checkout area. .TP .B xx-svn-resolve xx-svn-resolve invokes xxdiff with a 3-way merge view for all files in a Subversion checkout whose conflicts need to be resolved. Depending on the exit status, xxdiff also calls 'svn resolve' on the files. .TP .B xx-svn-review xx-svn-review exports two SVN revision and reviews them. .SH SEE ALSO .IP "\fI/usr/share/doc/xxdiff-scripts/html/xxdiff-scripts.html\fR" A description of the Python scripts and infrastructure that is provided around xxdiff, to facilitate implementing processes requiring display and selection of differences. .IP "\fI/usr/share/doc/xxdiff-scripts/txt/xxdiff-scripts.txt.gz\fR" The above documentation in plain text. .IP "xxdiff(1)" The xxdiff manual page .BR .SH AUTHOR xxdiff was written by Martin Blais .PP This manual page was written by Y Giridhar Appaji Nag for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
