NAME

       tie - merge or apply WEB change files

SYNOPSIS

       tie -c|-m outputfile masterfile changefile...

DESCRIPTION

       The  tie  program  is  used  to  process  multiple  change  files  used  with the WEB system for literate
       programming.  The WEB programs allow to apply patches to a source file (the masterfile)  by  means  of  a
       number  of change files (often only a single change file is allowed).  Tie can be used to either merge up
       to 32 change files into a single one or to apply the changes to the masterfile in order to create  a  new
       one.  Output of either the new change file or the patched master file goes into outputfile.

OPTIONS

       -c     Create a single change file from the given changefiles.

       -m     Create a new master file by applying the given changefiles.

ENVIRONMENT

       The  environment  variable  WEBINPUTS  is  used  to  search for the input files, or the system default if
       WEBINPUTS is not set.  See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
