NAME

       ctie - merge or apply CWEB change files

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  ctie  program  is used to process multiple change files used with the CWEB system for
       literate programming.  The CWEB programs allow one to apply patches to a source file  (the
       masterfile)  by  means of a single change file.  ctie 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 master file.  Output of either the new change file or the patched master file
       goes into outputfile.  Any include files (indicated using the CWEB @i command)  are  fully
       expanded  during ctie processing, which means that the change files are able to modify the
       contents of any included files.

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