tie - merge or apply WEB change files

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

The tie program is used to process multiple change files used with the WEB system for literate programming. The WEB programs allow to apply 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 outputfile.

-c

Create a single change file from the given /changefile/s.

-m

Create a new master file by applying the given /changefile/s.

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.
