- .TH pibcomp 1 "Mar 2014" "plc-utils-2.1.6" "Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit"
- .SH NAME
- pibcomp - Qualcomm Atheros Parameter Block Compare Utility
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .BR pibcomp
- .RI [ options ]
- .IR file
- .IR file
- .RI [> stdout ]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Read and compare two Qualcomm Atheros powerline parameter block files and print only those objects that are different.
- It will detect and handle both old and new powerline parameter file formats.
- This program is similar to program \fBodc\fR but is designed specifically for Qualcomm Atheros powerline parameter files.
- Program \fBodc\fR is no longer supported and will be removed from future toolkit releases.
- .PP
- Object driven comparison requires an object definition file that lists the size and name of data data objects (ie; integers, arrays or structures) within the parameter file.
- Individual data members are presented as smaller, individual data dumps within a larger, overall data dump.
- See program pibdump for more information of object definition file format.
- .SH OPTIONS
- .TP
- -\fBf\fI file\fR
- The object definition file that lists the size, name and description of individual individual objects in order of occurance.
- If this option is omitted then object definitions are read from stdin.
- The object definition file is not modified by this program.
- See the \fBpibdump\fR man page for an example of an object definition file.
- .TP
- .RB - ? ,-- help
- Print program help summary on stdout.
- This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- .TP
- .RB - ! ,-- version
- Print program version information on stdout.
- This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .TP
- .IR file
- The name of a binary file.
- Two binary files are needed for comparison and both should conform to the object definition file for the comarison to be meaningful.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- The following example compares file \fBabc.bin\fR and \fBdef.bin\fR and prints objects that are different in hexdump format.
- Objects are defined in \fBobjects.txt\fR and read using \fB-f\fR.
- .PP
- # pibcomp -f objects.txt abc.bin def.bin
