🌸 tkdirdiff(1) 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the General Commands Manual section today and the vibe is graphical directory comparison. yes that's a real thing, and yes it slays. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

tkdirdiff — a graphical directory comparison tool. it compares dirs. graphically. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tkdirdiff [options] dir1 dir2 ...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. tkdirdiff gives you a graphical representation of the differences between two or more — up to five — directories. it'll produce diffs between directory pairs and so on. that's the whole thing. no cap, that's the description, and it ate 💅✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

tkdirdiff accepts the following options, and bestie there are a bunch, so buckle up:

• --all, -a — don't exclude any files. literally all of them. all of the files. every single one 🫶
• --only, -o pattern — only process files that match pattern. very picky. very demure.
• --ignore, -i pattern — don't process files that match pattern. the opposite of the above, obviously 💀
• --rcs, -r — ignore differences in RCS strings. heads up though: this one requires the dirdiff package to be installed. no package, no service ✨
• --bktag, -t — ignore differences in Bitkeeper strings. same deal, same energy: requires the dirdiff package to be installed 🌈
• -b, -w, -B, -i, -d — these get passed straight on to diff(1). not our business, they go where they go 🚀
• -S — show files that are the same in the file list. yes, the boring identical ones. sometimes you want to see them, okay?? 🙈
• -K — Bitkeeper support 🧚

ngl bestie, if you noticed that -i shows up in two different places on this list, yeah, that's just how the page says it. i'm reporting it exactly as it's written, i'm not the one who did that 💀
