## NAME

tie - merge or apply WEB change files

## SYNOPSIS

tie -c | -m outputfile masterfile changefile .\|.\|.

## DESCRIPTION

The tie program is used to process multiple change files used with the WEB system for literate programming. The WEB programs allow to apply patches to a source file (the masterfile ) by means of a number of change files (often only a single change file is allowed). Tie can be used to either merge up to 32 change files into a single one or to apply the changes to the masterfile in order to create a new one. Output of either the new change file or the patched master file goes into outputfile .

## OPTIONS

-c Create a single change file from the given changefile s.

-m Create a new master file by applying the given changefile s.

## ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable WEBINPUTS is used to search for the input files, or the system default if WEBINPUTS is not set. See tex (1)for the details of the searching.
