cnetdiff

This program will compare two control network files. The purpose of this program is for application tests that output a control network formatted file, to be able to compare binary control networks with tolerances in numerical values of keywords. Note: This application only checks the ControlNet keywords Network ID and Target Name, other keywords for the network, such as UserName and Description, are not compared. For points and measures, the DateTime keyword is always ignored.

Description

By default, this application will report the first difference in encounters between the two network (FIRST). This is primarily used for application testing by developers. Users can make use of this application to report a full listing of differences between two networks (FULL).

Note that, at present, this option will only consider the first value of a keyword. It does not compare lists of values or units.

Option List:	Option Brief Description FIRST Only report the first difference Used by automatic application tests to report differences between two networks, only processing to the first difference for performance reasons. FULL Report the full listing of all differences Users can use this option to get a full list of all the differences between two networks, organized in a PVL structure. Each keyword will have up to three values: the first being the value from the first network, the second the value from the second network, and the third the tolerance that failed (if provided).
