1674.0. "bdiff -c option broken?" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Mon Aug 14 1995 10:59

Subj: 	bdiff -c option broken?
I notice that when I do: 	

   bdiff -r1.2.3.4 -c 10 foo.c

bdiff tries to find a file called "10" and examine
it, and reports an error.  It does perform the expected
behavior and put out 10 lines of context information
for foo.c.

If you use -c as documented in the man page:

   bdiff -r1.2.3.4 -c10 foo.c

You get an error message about an illegal option "-c10".

No big deal, just thought you should know if you haven't
already heard.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, I don't know about this one; I haven't used the -c# option myself,
and it's not documented in the ode3.0 man page.

DECwest support?

It's in the ode2.0 man page. bdiff -c#  (no spaces). Did you some other
number, like less that 10?
