Program to operate cookie (fortune) database
cdbdiff [options] <database1> <database2> <resultfile>
This manual page documents briefly the cdbdiff command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has some plaintext documentation, see below.
cdbdiff is a program that compares two cookie databases and builds a list of those cookies that are only present in second, but not in the first of them. The input files are not modified in any way.
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory
