TIE(1)                      General Commands Manual                      TIE(1)

NAME
       tie - merge or apply WEB change files

SYNOPSIS
       tie -c|-m outputfile masterfile changefile...

DESCRIPTION
       The  tie  program is used to process multiple change files used with the
       WEB system for literate programming.  The WEB programs allow one to  ap-
       ply  patches  to  a source file (the masterfile) by means of a number of
       change files (often only a single change file is allowed).  Tie  can  be
       used to either merge up to 32 change files into a single one or to apply
       the  changes  to the masterfile in order to create a new one.  Output of
       either the new change file or the patched master file goes into  output-
       file.

OPTIONS
       -c     Create a single change file from the given changefiles.

       -m     Create a new master file by applying the given changefiles.

ENVIRONMENT
       The  environment  variable  WEBINPUTS  is  used  to search for the input
       files, or the system default if WEBINPUTS is not set.   See  tex(1)  for
       the  details  of  the searching.  To avoid conflicts with other programs
       that also use the WEBINPUTS environment, you can be  more  specific  and
       use WEBINPUTS_tie for special requirements in TIE.

SEE ALSO
       web(1), ctie(1), cweb(1).
