The FHist package contains 3 utilities, a file history tool ``fhist'',
|
||
|
|
a file comparison tool ``fcomp'', and a file merging tool ``fmerge'.
|
||
|
|
All three are bundled together, because they all use the same algorithm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fhist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keeps track of versions of a file. It works correctly when given
|
||
|
|
binary files as input. See fhist(1) for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fcomp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compares two versions of a file, usually line-for- line textual
|
||
|
|
comparison. It is capable of comparing two binary files byte-for-byte.
|
||
|
|
See fcomp(1) for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fmerge
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Merges together edits from two descendants of a file. See fmerge(1)
|
||
|
|
for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The history tool presented here, fhist, is a minimal history tool.
|
||
|
|
It provides no locking or branching. This can be useful in contexts
|
||
|
|
where the configuration management or change control be being
|
||
|
|
provided by some other tool.
