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
