NAME
     cpif - selectively update files

SYNOPSIS
     cpif [-eq|-ne] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     _c_p_i_f is an auxiliary  tool  for  use  with  _n_o_t_a_n_g_l_e(_1)  and
     _m_a_k_e(_1).  _c_p_i_f  compares  its  standard input to each of the

     is specified, the default is -ne. Typical usage  is  in  the
     following default rule, suitable for use in a Makefile.
