QIDIFF(1) DragonFly General Commands Manual QIDIFF(1)
NAME
qidiff - show the differences since the last quilt refresh
SYNOPSIS
qidiff
DESCRIPTION
The qidiff utility shows the differences between the current state of the
tree and the last refreshed quilt(1) patch. It runs "quilt diff" and
passes it through interdiff(1) to show the changes since the last
refreshing.
To obtain the location where quilt(1) stores its patches, the qidiff
utility performs the following tests:
* if the QUILT_PATCHES environment variable is set, its value is used.
* if the .quiltrc file is present in the user's home directory, it is
sourced in a subshell and the value of the QUILT_PATCHES environment
variable is used, if defined.
* otherwise, patches is used as the name of the quilt(1) patch
directory.
RETURN VALUES
The qidiff utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
ENVIRONMENT
QUILT_PATCHES
The directory where quilt(1) stores its patches.
FILES

variable is not set.
