_bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff is used in a manner analogous to _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff to find which lines in _f_i_l_e_1
and _f_i_l_e_2 must be changed to bring the files into agreement. Its purpose
is to allow processing of files too large for _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff. If _f_i_l_e_1 (_f_i_l_e_2) is
_----, the standard input is read.
Valid options to _bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff are:
_n The number of line segments. The value of _n is 3500 by default. If
the optional third argument is given and it is numeric, it is used
as the value for _n. This is useful in those cases in which 3500-
line segments are too large for _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff, causing it to fail.
_----_ssss Specifies that no diagnostics are to be printed by _bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff (silent
option). Note, however, that this does not suppress possible
diagnostic messages from _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff, which _bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff calls.
_bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff ignores lines common to the beginning of both files, splits the
remainder of each file into _n-line segments, and invokes _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff on
corresponding segments. If both optional arguments are specified, they
must appear in the order indicated above.
The output of _bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff is exactly that of _dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff, with line numbers adjusted
to account for the segmenting of the files (that is, to make it look as
if the files had been processed whole). Note that because of the
segmenting of the files, _bbbb_dddd_iiii_ffff_ffff does not necessarily find a smallest
sufficient set of file differences.
