SYNOPSIS

       lmerge [-IiVv] [ -D path ] [ -u umask ] transcript...  dest
       lmerge -f [-IiVv] [ -D path ] [ -u umask ] transcript1 transcript2
       lmerge -n [-IiVv] [ -D path ] [ -u umask ] transcript1 transcript2 dest



DESCRIPTION

       lmerge walks through each transcript  in  precedence  order  (  highest
       precedence  transcript  listed  first  ) to create the apply-able tran-
       script dest.  If multiple transcripts list the same file system object,
       the  transcript  line from the highest precedence transcript is written
       to dest.

       Blank lines and comments ( lines starting with # ) are not  written  to
       dest.

       With  the  -f option lmerge does not create a new transcript and merges
       the first transcript into the second transcript.  The second transcript
       must be writable by the user.  Only two transcripts are allowed.

       If  the  highest precedence listing of a file system object is preceded
       with a '-', the transcript line will not be written to dest.

       Files listed in dest are linked from their original location to a  file
       directory  created  by lmerge.  This directory is relative to the loca-
       tion of dest.  Since files are linked, all transcripts ( including dest
       ) and files must be located on the same volume.

       Using  the -f option, lmerge links all files from the lowest precedence
       transcript.  If the transcript line for a file is preceded with  a  "-"
       it  is  also removed from the file directory associated with the lowest
       precedence transcript.

       The -n option indicates that the highest precedence transcript  has  no
       associated  file directory.  All files listed in the highest precedence
       transcript must be in the file directory  associated  with  the  lowest
       precedence  transcript.   A  transcript  line in the highest precedence
       transcript written to dest, but files are linked from the lowest prece-
       dence  transcript.   Only  two  transcripts  can  be merged with the -n
       option.


OPTIONS

       -f                 merge transcript1 into transcript2.

       -D path            specifies the radmind working directory, by  default
                          _RADMIND_PATH

       -I                 path comparisons are case-insensitive.

       -n                 merge  two  transcripts  linking  all files from the
                          lowest precedence transcript.
