Command Qualifiers

/DEBUG

/NODEBUG (default)

The option enables debugging.

/EXCLUDE=comma-separated-list-of-attributes

This option can be used to specify attributes to ignore when doing the differencing. By default, if neither /EXCLUDE nor /INCLUDE is specified, all attributes are compared.

/INCLUDE=comma-separated-list-of-attributes

This option can be used to specify attributes to compare when doing the differencing. By default, if neither /EXCLUDE nor /INCLUDE is specified, all attributes are compared.

/NAME=directory-name

This option can be used to specify the name of the directory being compared, thereby allowing proper treatment of entries with an ignore_for attribute.
