23             
24             .SH NAME
25             diffpp \- pretty\-print diff outputs with GNU enscript
26             
27             .SH SYNOPSIS
28             .B diffpp \f2currentfile\f1 < \f2diff\-file\f1
29             
30             .SH DESCRIPTION
31             
32             \f3Diffpp\f1 converts \f3diff(1)\f1\-program's output files to a
33             format suitable to be printed with GNU \f3enscript(1)\f1.  Program
34             annotates the changes with enscript's special escapes so enscript can
35             highlight the modified portions of the file.  All changed and added
36             lines are printed with gray\-background, deleted lines are marked with
37             minus (`\-') characters; \f3diffpp\f1 prints one minus character for
38             each deleted line.
39             
40             .SH EXAMPLES
41             
42             The easiest way to use \f3diffpp\f1 is to use it as an input filter
43 rizwank 1.1 for enscript.  If an input filter is specified for enscript it is used
44             to pre\-process the incoming data\-stream.  Filtering does not alter any
45             header strings or file\-timestamps which might be printed on enscript
46             headers; only the incoming data is modified.
47             
48             .TP 8
49             \f3enscript \-G2re \-\-filter='rcsdiff %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h\f1
50             Print the changes between current source files and their latest
51             RCS\-versions.
52             .TP 8
53             \f3enscript \-G2re \-\-filter='diff %s~ %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h\f1
54             Print changes between source files and the corresponding backup\-files.
