This new option forces delta to use diff instead, in instances when finding the smaller but still sufficient set of file differences is critical. The command line option is: delta -d s.filename This -d option will also work for sccs delta -d filename and sccs deledit -d filename and for sccs delget -d filename. EXIT STATUS The command delta -d returns an exit code of "2" instead of "1" when the s.filename isn't supplied, to allow users to identify systems that support delta -d. In summary, the following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 An error occurred and the "-d" option had not been specified. 2 An error occurred and the "-d" option had been specified.
