As the comparison uses process substitution to pass files after conversion to DTS format, the diff header doesn't show the real filenames, but the names of the file descriptors used: --- /dev/fd/63 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200 +++ /dev/fd/62 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200 This is especially annoying when comparing a bunch of DT files in a loop, as the output doesn't show a clue about which files it refers to. Fix this by explicitly passing the original file names to the diff command using the --label option, giving e.g.: --- arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dtb +++ arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-porter.dtb Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/dtc/dtx_diff | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/dtc/dtx_diff b/scripts/dtc/dtx_diff index ec47f95991a3aecc..fb86f3899e162200 100755 --- a/scripts/dtc/dtx_diff +++ b/scripts/dtc/dtx_diff @@ -338,7 +338,7 @@ DTC="${DTC} ${dtc_flags} -O dts -qq -f ${dtc_sort} -o -" if (( ${cmd_diff} )) ; then - diff ${diff_flags} \ + diff ${diff_flags} --label "${dtx_file_1}" --label "${dtx_file_2}" \ <(compile_to_dts "${dtx_file_1}") \ <(compile_to_dts "${dtx_file_2}") -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
