NAME
     diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript

SYNOPSIS
     diffpp currentfile < diff-file

DESCRIPTION
     Diffpp  converts  diff(1)-program's output files to a format suitable to be
     printed with GNU enscript(1).   Program  annotates  the  changes  with  en-
     script's special escapes so enscript can highlight the modified portions of
     the  file.   All  changed and added lines are printed with gray-background,
     deleted lines are marked with minus (`-') characters; diffpp prints one mi-
     nus character for each deleted line.

EXAMPLES
     The easiest way to use diffpp is to use it as an input filter for enscript.
     If an input filter is specified for enscript it is used to pre-process  the
     incoming  data-stream.   Filtering  does  not  alter  any header strings or
     file-timestamps which might be printed on enscript headers; only the incom-
     ing data is modified.

     enscript -G2re --filter='rcsdiff %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
	     Print the changes between current source  files  and  their  latest
	     RCS-versions.

     enscript -G2re --filter='diff %s~ %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
	     Print   changes   between	 source   files  and  the  corresponding
	     backup-files.
