NAME

       schdiff - Graphical diff tool for schematics

SYNOPSIS

       schdiff infile1.sch infile2.sch

DESCRIPTION

       The  schdiff  program  will use ImageMagick(1) to display a graphical diff of two gschem schematic files.
       It's most useful when combined with a revision control system so it can compare two revisions of the same
       file,  review  changes,  etc.  However, it is limited in that it can only compare two files at a time; it
       cannot diff entire directories nor can it diff an entire revision (unless that revision affected only one
       file).   It  can  easily be configured to work with most revision control systems.  Here are instructions
       for three:

       git: Use the difftool command exactly as you would use diff , but supply the -x schdiff option.

       mercurial: Use the schdiff command exactly as you would use diff , but add the following  lines  to  your
       .hgrc:

                [extensions]
                hgext.extdiff =
                [extdiff]
                cmd.schdiff = schdiff

       subversion: Use the diff command like normal, but supply the --diff-cmd schdiff option.

EXAMPLES

       Use git to view the changes to a file between two revisions
              git          difftool          -x         schdiff         182110f690c51eb53ea1799fd022e87322d742e3
              039e012397f2638d1577dd7c80fb862a5503dbfd cpu.sch

       Use mercurial to see all the changes since a specific revision
              hg schdiff -r 8442880f9835 cpld.sch

       Use subversion to review a specific revision
              svn diff --diff-cmd schdiff -c 49 power.sch
