Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
| **ceph-diff-sorted** *file1* *file2*
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
:program:`ceph-diff-sorted` is a simplified *diff* utility optimized
|
|
for comparing two files with lines that are lexically sorted.
|
|
|
|
The output is simplified in comparison to that of the standard `diff`
|
|
tool available in POSIX systems. Angle brackets ('<' and '>') are used
|
|
to show lines that appear in one file but not the other. The output is
|
|
not compatible with the `patch` tool.
|
|
|
|
This tool was created in order to perform diffs of large files (e.g.,
|
|
containing billions of lines) that the standard `diff` tool cannot
|
|
handle efficiently. Knowing that the lines are sorted allows this to
|
|
be done efficiently with minimal memory overhead.
|
|
|
|
The sorting of each file needs to be done lexcially. Most POSIX
|
|
systems use the *LANG* environment variable to determine the `sort`
|
|
tool's sorting order. To sort lexically we would need something such
|
|
as:
|
|
|
|
$ LANG=C sort some-file.txt >some-file-sorted.txt
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Compare two files::
|
|
|
|
$ ceph-diff-sorted fileA.txt fileB.txt
|
|
|
|
Exit Status
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
When complete, the exit status will be set to one of the following:
|
|
|
|
0
|
|
files same
|
|
1
|
|
files different
|
|
2
|
|
usage problem (e.g., wrong number of command-line arguments)
|
|
3
|
|
problem opening input file
|
|
4
|
|
bad file content (e.g., unsorted order or empty lines)
|
|
|
|
|
|
