2.5.4 diffupdate

Syntax:
DiffUpdate <path_and_basname>
Example:
DiffUpdate /var/spool/filebase/nodediff/nodediff

Here you can specify the base filename of nodelist difference files (nodediffs) that are used to keep the corresponding nodelist up to date. The argument to the DiffUpdate is the full file name with path of a difference file, without the file extension. For example, if you have a file area at `/var/spool/filebase/24000', where your ticker places the updates for the German Pointlist, and those update files are called `points24.a26', `points24.a33', and so on, you would use

 
DiffUpdate /var/spool/filebase/24000/points24

The Diffupdate keyword is used by nlupdate, for example. The nodelist updater will unpack the difference file (if it is archived, of course, unpacked diffs are also supported), apply the diff to the corresponding nodelist, and delete the temporary unpacked diff again.
