NAME

       cdbdiff - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS

       cdbdiff [options] <database1> <database2> <resultfile>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the cdbdiff command.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not
       have a manual page. Instead, it has some plaintext documentation, see below.

       cdbdiff is a program that compares two cookie databases and builds a list of those cookies that are  only
       present in second, but not in the first of them. The input files are not modified in any way.

OPTIONS

       A  summary  of  options  is  included  below.  For  a  complete  description,  see  the  documentation in
       /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory

       [nothing]
              Shows summary of options.

       -c     case sensitive comparisons.

       -d[0-3]
              how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)

       -f[0-3]
              input file format - -f3: cookies are separated by '%%' lines; -f2: cookies are  separated  by  '%'
              lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each line is a cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.

       -a     append if <resultfile> exists (instead of failing).
