The RCS output format is designed specifically for use by the
Revision Control System, which is a set of free programs used for
organizing different versions and systems of files. Use the `-n' or
`--rcs' option to select this output format. It is like the forward
`ed' format ( Forward ed), but it can represent arbitrary
changes to the contents of a file because it avoids the forward `ed'
format's problems with lines consisting of a single period and with
incomplete lines. Instead of ending text sections with a line
consisting of a single period, each command specifies the number of
lines it affects; a combination of the `a' and `d' commands are used
instead of `c'. Also, if the second file ends in a changed incomplete
line, then the output also ends in an incomplete line.
Here is the output of `diff -n lao tzu' ( Sample diff Input,
for the complete contents of the two files):
d1 2
d4 1
a4 2
The named is the mother of all things.
a11 3
They both may be called deep and profound.
Deeper and more profound,
The door of all subtleties!
