Set Option: System or personal ini file, or object, or object type attribute or ccm set command
cli_compare_cmd is the default command that is executed when two normal files are compared from the CLI. A normal file is an object that is not a project, directory, or symbolic link. It defaults to the cli_compare_cmd attribute on the first object selected, which is, by default, ccm_dff -o %outfile %file1 %file2.
cli_proj_compare_cmd is the default command that is executed when two projects are compared from the CLI. It defaults to the cli_compare_cmd attribute on the first project selected, which is, by default, sdiff -w 80 %file1 %file2.
cli_dir_compare_cmd is the default command that is executed when two directories are compared from the CLI. It defaults to the cli_compare_cmd attribute on the first directory, which is, by default, %ccm_merge.
cli_symlink_compare_cmd is the default command that is executed when two symbolic links are compared from the CLI. It defaults to the cli_compare_cmd attribute on the first symbolic link, which is, by default, ccm_dff -o %outfile %file1 %file2.
cli_merge_cmd is the default command that is executed when two normal files are merged from the CLI. A normal file is an object that is not a project, directory, or symbolic link. It defaults to the cli_compare_cmd attribute on the first object selected, which is, by default, %ccm_merge.
On Windows, defaults for all four of these options are specified on the system initialization file, overriding the defaults on the object types. The Window defaults for all four options are the same: ccm_dff -o %outfile %file1 %file2
All lines in your initialization file that reference the ccm_dff command use -o %outfile to write the results of the diff to %outfile rather than to standard output. (%outfile is the file that contains the results of the two diff’d files.)
