.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Yesterday
|
|
prints the names of the
|
|
.I files
|
|
from the most recent dump.
|
|
Since dumps are done early in the morning,
|
|
yesterday's files are really in today's dump.
|
|
For example, if today is March 17, 1992,
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
yesterday /adm/users
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
prints
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
/n/dump/1992/0317/adm/users
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
In fact, the implementation is to select the most recent dump in
|
|
the current year, so the dump selected may not be from today.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When presented with a path of the form
|
|
.BI /n/ fs / path \fR,
|
|
.I yesterday
|
|
will look for
|
|
dump files of the form
|
|
\fL/n/\fIfs\fLdump/\fIyyyy\fL/\fIhhmm\fL/\fIpath\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
By default,
|
|
.I yesterday
|
|
prints the names of the dump files corresponding to the named files.
|
|
The first set of options changes this behavior.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -a
|
|
Run
|
|
.IR acme (1)'s
|
|
.I adiff
|
|
to compare the dump files with the named files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -b
|
|
Bind the dump files over the named files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -c
|
|
Copy the dump files over the named files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -C
|
|
Copy the dump files over the named files only when
|
|
they differ.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -d
|
|
Run
|
|
.B diff
|
|
to compare the dump files with the named files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -D
|
|
Run
|
|
.B diff
|
|
.B -n
|
|
to compare the dump files with the named files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I date
|
|
option selects other day's dumps, with a format of
|
|
1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 digits of the form
|
|
.IR d,
|
|
.IR dd ,
|
|
.IR mmdd ,
|
|
.IR yymmdd ,
|
|
or
|
|
.IR yyyymmdd .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B -n
|
|
option selects the dump
|
|
.I daysago
|
|
prior to the current day.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B -s
|
|
option selects the most recent snapshot instead of the most
|
|
recent archived dump. Snapshots may occur more frequently
|
|
than dumps.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Yesterday
|
|
does not guarantee that the string it prints represents an existing file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Diffy
|
|
runs
|
|
.IR diff (1)
|
|
with the given options
|
|
to compare yesterday's version of each of the named files
|
|
with today's.
|
