- NAME
- merge - three-way file merge
-
- SYNOPSIS
- merge [ -p ] file1 file2 file3
-
- DESCRIPTION
- _M_e_r_g_e incorporates all changes that lead form _f_i_l_e_2 to _f_i_l_e_3
- into _f_i_l_e_1. The result goes to std. output if -p is present,
- into _f_i_l_e_1 otherwise. _M_e_r_g_e is useful for combining separate
- changes to an original. Suppose _f_i_l_e_2 is the original, and
- both _f_i_l_e_1 and _f_i_l_e_3 are modifications of _f_i_l_e_2. Then _m_e_r_g_e
- combines both changes.
-
- An overlap occurs if both _f_i_l_e_1 and _f_i_l_e_3 have changes in a
- common segment of lines. _M_e_r_g_e prints how many overlaps
- occurred, and includes both alternatives in the result. The
- alternatives are delimited as follows:
-
- <<<<<<< file1
- lines in file1
- =======
- lines in file3
- >>>>>>> file3
-
- If there are overlaps, the user should edit the result and
- delete one of the alternatives.
