- _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.
