# gtkdiff-cvs(1)

compare CVS revisions using gtkdiff

## NAME

gtkdiff-cvs - compare CVS revisions using gtkdiff

## SYNOPSIS

**gtkdiff-rcs** \[ **-r** rev1 \[ **-r** rev2 \] \] *file*

## DESCRIPTION

**gtkdiff-cvs** is a modified version of gtkdiff-rcs, which again is a replacement for rcsdiff. It runs [**gtkdiff**(1)](/gtkdiff/1.md) to compare two revisions of a given file in CVS.

## EXAMPLES

- gtkdiff-cvs GnewsAlert.c

  (diff with latest on CVS repository)

- gtkdiff-cvs -r1.1 GnewsAlert.c

  (diff with revision 1.1 on CVS repository)

- gtkdiff-cvs -r1.1 -r1.2 GnewsAlert.c

  (diff between revisions 1.1 and 1.2 on CVS repository)

## LIMITATIONS

Unlike [**rcsdiff**(1)](/rcsdiff/1.md), **gtkdiff-cvs** only accepts one file a time.

## SEE ALSO

[**gtkdiff-rcs**(1)](/gtkdiff-rcs/1.md), [**rcsdiff**(1)](/rcsdiff/1.md), [**gtkdiff**(1)](/gtkdiff/1.md).
