pptable-diff [--patch] [--prune] [-o output] [--new <table>] --old <table>

Description

New pretty-print table. Typically, this is a pretty-print table recently generated by ppgen?. If missing, standard input is used to read a table from.

--old <table>
Old pretty-print table. Typically, this is a (manually) customized pretty-print table.

--patch
Bring old table up-to-date. If this switch is specified, the table "old" is updated by adding pretty-print rules that are in "new" but not in "old".

--prune
Remove obsolete pretty-print entries. If this switch is specified, the table "old" is returned after removing obsolete pretty-print entries (i.e., entries that are not contained in "new").
