FHist \*(v)
fhist \*(v)
The FHist package contains 3 utilities,
a file history tool ``fhist'',
a file comparison tool ``fcomp'', and
a file merging tool ``fmerge''.
All three are bundled together,
because they all use the same minimal-difference algorithm.
.br
The history tool presented here, fhist, is a minimal history tool.
It provides no locking or branching. This can be useful in contexts
where the configuration management or change control be being provided
by some other tool.
.br
The history tool, fhist is able to handle binary files.
The file comparison tool, fcomp, usually does a line-for-line
plain-text comparison, however it is also capable of a byte-for-byte
binary comparison.
.br
