prcs-callback(1)

NAME

prcs-callback - Callback script for Ediff support in

prcs.el

SYNOPSIS

(setq prcs-callback-program prcs-callback )

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the prcs-merge-command,

script. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux

distribution because the original program does not have a manual

page.

prcs-callback is associated with prcs.el. When called

with some number of arguments, this script:

1. Prints a special magic token on a line by itself.
2. Prints the number of args on a line by itself.
3. Prints each of the args in turn on their own lines.
4. Waits for input.
5. Reads a line (should be an integer), and exits with
that status.

It is used by prcs.el as a value for $PRCS_DIFF_COMMAND or

$PRCS_MERGE_COMMAND. The token is used to identify its execution

in a general comint buffer.
