NAME¶
cpif - selectively update files
SYNOPSIS¶
cpif [ 
-eq|
-ne] file ...
DESCRIPTION¶
cpif is an auxiliary tool for use with 
notangle(1) and
  
make(1). 
cpif compares its standard input to each of the named
  files, overwriting the file if the comparison succeeds or if the named file
  does not exist. If neither 
-eq or 
-ne is specified, the default
  is 
-ne. Typical usage is in the following default rule, suitable for
  use in a Makefile.
 
 .nw.h: ; notangle -Rheader $*.nw | cpif $*.h
