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

       -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).
