COOKIETOOL(6)

NAME
cdbdiff - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS
cdbdiff [options] <database1> <database2> <resultfile>

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cdbdiff command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has some plaintext documentation, see below.

cdbdiff is a program that compares two cookie databases and builds a list of those cookies that are only present in second, but not in the first of them. The input files are not modified in any way.

OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory

-f[0-3]
