It takes a filter arguement, and two file names. It then runs the two files through the filter (one at a time), and then displays the output of each beside each other. Therefore, the command: <pre> ./side "/home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < %s" ../shdns/sample-response ../shdns/shdns-response | less </pre> Takes two DNS packets, and displays them after they have been pretty printed. The output looks like this: <pre> /home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < ../shdns/sample-response | /home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < ../shdns/shdns-response | 0 135 0x87 0207 | 0 135 0x87 0207 1 210 0xD2 0322 | 1 210 0xD2 0322 2 133 0x85 0205 | 2 10 0xA 012 3 128 0x80 0200 | 3 56 0x38 070 '8' 4 0 0x0 00 | 4 0 0x0 00 5 1 0x1 01 | 5 0 0x0 00 6 0 0x0 00 | 6 1 0x1 01 7 1 0x1 01 | 7 0 0x0 00 8 0 0x0 00 | 8 1 0x1 01 9 1 0x1 01 | 9 0 0x0 00 10 0 0x0 00 | 10 0 0x0 00 11 0 0x0 00 | 11 0 0x0 00 12 3 0x3 03 | 12 0 0x0 00 13 119 0x77 0167 'w' | 13 3 0x3 03 14 119 0x77 0167 'w' | 14 119 0x77 0167 'w' 15 119 0x77 0167 'w' | 15 119 0x77 0167 'w' 16 7 0x7 07 | 16 119 0x77 0167 'w' 17 115 0x73 0163 's' | 17 7 0x7 07 18 116 0x74 0164 't' | 18 115 0x73 0163 's' 19 105 0x69 0151 'i' | 19 116 0x74 0164 't' 20 108 0x6C 0154 'l' | 20 105 0x69 0151 'i' 21 108 0x6C 0154 'l' | 21 108 0x6C 0154 'l' 22 104 0x68 0150 'h' | 22 108 0x6C 0154 'l' 23 113 0x71 0161 'q' | 23 104 0x68 0150 'h' 24 3 0x3 03 | 24 113 0x71 0161 'q' 25 99 0x63 0143 'c' | 25 3 0x3 03 26 111 0x6F 0157 'o' | 26 99 0x63 0143 'c' 27 109 0x6D 0155 'm' | 27 111 0x6F 0157 'o' 28 0 0x0 00 | 28 109 0x6D 0155 'm' 29 0 0x0 00 | 29 1 0x1 01 30 1 0x1 01 | 30 3 0x3 03 31 0 0x0 00 | 31 119 0x77 0167 'w' 32 1 0x1 01 | 32 119 0x77 0167 'w' 33 192 0xC0 0300 | 33 119 0x77 0167 'w' [snip] </pre> It handles line wrapping and stuff like that, but it is <b>not</b> a visual diff.
