ksconf diff¶
Compares the content differences of two .conf files
This command ignores textual differences (like order, spacing, and comments) and focuses strictly on comparing stanzas, keys, and values. Note that spaces within any given value will be compared. Multi-line fields are compared in are compared in a more traditional ‘diff’ output so that long savedsearches and macros can be compared more easily.
usage: ksconf diff [-h] [-o FILE] [--comments] CONF1 CONF2
Positional Arguments¶
CONF1 | Left side of the comparison |
CONF2 | Right side of the comparison |
Named Arguments¶
-o, --output | File where difference is stored. Defaults to standard out. |
--comments, -C | Enable comparison of comments. (Unlikely to work consistently) |
