diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript
diffpp currentfile < diff-file
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.
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.
