diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript
SYNOPSIS
diffpp currentfile < diff-file
DESCRIPTION
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-back
ground, deleted lines are marked with minus (`-') charac
ters; diffpp prints one minus character for each deleted
line.
EXAMPLES
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 corre
sponding backup-files.
