NAME¶
nymerge - tool to update and merge specialized-format patches
SYNOPSIS¶
nymerge merge old new options [
print ] [ .go ]
DESCRIPTION¶
nymerge is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see
nypatchy(1). Specifically, it can
update a PAM file
old with a new version number and date/time stamp,
optionally also merging in updated source code from a separate PAM file
merge, and saving the result to file
new. The default file
extension of these three files is presumed to be ".car".
USAGE¶
The merge file
merge may be replaced with "-" if there is
nothing to merge.
print is the file to which informational output
should be written (the default is standard output if omitted), and
options is a sequence of single-character flags.
The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the
Nypatchy interactive shell.
OPTIONS¶
Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with no space
separation and no use of the - character (except that it can be used in place
of the options field if no options are desired). Alphabetic options are not
case-sensitive.
- F
- Update only the first PAM file title.
- H
- Print help information only.
- P
- Log only the patch names, not the decks.
- Q
- "quick" - Do not log printing of patch or deck names.
- U
- Update version/date/time on all PAM titles found on the file.
- +
- Inhibit the initial page-eject.
