NAME
     sbcsdiff - compare two versions from an SBCS s-file

SYNOPSIS
     sbcsdiff [-p] -r sid1 -r sid2 [-s seg-size] s-file ...

DESCRIPTION
     sbcsdiff compares two versions of an SBCS s-file  (see  nad-
     min(1))  and  generates the differences between the two ver-
     sions.  Any number of SBCS files may be specified.   If  any
     of  the  s-files  has  its  binary flag set (see nadmin(1)),
     sbcsdiff passes the versions to cmp(1).   For  nonbinary  s-
     files, sbcsdiff will call bdiff(1) if it can be found in the
     user's PATH, otherwise diff(1).

     sbcsdiff is a ksh(1) script, but can be edited to work  with
     any other shell.

OPTIONS
     -r sid[12]
          sid1 and sid2 are either actual Sids or  version  names
          that  specify  the versions to be extracted from the s-
          file and compared.

     -p   pipe output through pr(1).

     -s seg-size
          The value of the segment size to use with bdiff.   This
          can be useful on loaded systems.

FILES
     /tmp/nget.[a-e]$$
          Temporary files, removed before sbcsdiff terminates.

DIAGNOSTICS
     file: -rSID1 -rSID2: No differences
          If the two versions are the same.

     file: -rSID1 -rSID2 differ: char x, line y
          If two binary versions differ.

     file: -rSID1 -rSID2: -rSIDx is same but shorter than -rSIDy
          If two binary  versions  differ  but  one  matches  the
          beginning of the other.

     file: -rSID1 -rSID2: <bdiff or diff output>
          If two nonbinary versions differ.
