20 \- a diff for Barry tar backup files
23 [\-b][\-d db][\-D db][\-h][\-I charset][\-P][\-S][\-v] tar0 tar1
27 takes two Barry backup tar files on the command line, and displays
28 the differences it finds between them. If records can be parsed,
29 individual field differences are also displayed. Added and removed
30 records are noted. Differences in database availability are noted as
31 well. If unable to parse the records, hex dumps are used.
35 Use brief filename markers. Useful when tar filenames are extremely long.
38 Name of database to compare. Can be used multiple times to compare
39 multiple databases. If not specified, all databases are compared.
42 Name of database to skip. Can be used multiple times. Overrides all
43 other database selection options.
46 Show summary of options.
49 Specifies the iconv charset to use for converting international strings.
50 The Blackberry uses the WINDOWS\-1252 charset, which is incompatible with
51 the more common code pages used in Linux. The most useful charset to use
52 with this option is UTF\-8, and is highly recommended. Any other charset
53 available via 'iconv \-\-list' can be used here too, but may not be
54 successful for some character conversions.
57 Displays list of known database records, which can be parsed.
60 Verbose output, which includes record data of added and deleted records
61 in the output. If used twice, hex data is printed as well.
66 is part of the Barry project.
