.SH NAME

|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BR descu
|
|
[
|
|
.B -hV
|
|
] [
|
|
.B -o
|
|
.I outfile
|

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents
|
|
.BR descu
|
|
version 1.0.7.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.BR descu
|
|
updates the describe source file
|
|
.I sourcefile
|
|
by applying the new and updated records from the \fIpatchfile\fRs
|
|
and prints the result to standard output (or to
|
|
.IR outfile ,
|
|
if the
|
|
.BR -o
|
|
flag was specified).
|
|
.LP
|
|
.IR Patchfile s
|
|
are just one or more describe source entries as defined in
|
|
.BR descc (8).
|
|
(They have nothing to do with
|
|
.BR patch (1).)
|
|
.LP
|
|
.IR Patchfile s
|
|
are assumed to contain at most one entry (in all listed
|
|
.IR patchfile s)
|
|
for a given program, keyed on the
|
|
.BR Name:
|
|
field. (They may otherwise contain any number of entries.) If an entry in
|
|
.IR patchfile
|
|
is already in
|
|
.IR sourcefile ,
|
|
it replaces the original; otherwise the entry is appended. In both
|
|
cases, the output is sorted lexicographically (ignoring case), based on
|
|
the
|
|
.BR Name:
|
|
field.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.BR descu
|
|
will create the file
|
|
.B descu.rej
|
|
in the current directory. This contains all records that were removed
|
|
from
|
|
.IR sourcefile .
|
|
