Increased the number of characters in the name field of the nameEntry struct from 34 to 36. This gives an 8-byte alignment to the offset entry, which provides binary compatibility of the precompiled database file between the IIgs and little-endian 32-bit machines such as Linux boxes. *** THIS MEANS THAT THE PRECOMPILED DATABASE IS NO LONGER BINARY COMPATIBLE WITH EARLIER VERSIONS. Updated descu so that the "Last Updated" line in the describe source "header" is updated to reflect the current date and time (GMT, if supported). Fixed a bug in descu that caused the "header" to be slowly eaten, one character at a time. The describe database source file is no longer part of this archive. It is available separately from the url, above. Added a "Known Bugs" section and URLs on where to find the online database to this README. Modified the installation instructions a bit.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents
|
|
.BR descu
|
|
version 1.0.5.
|
|
.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 .
|
|
