Developer’s Description

By Free Software Foundation

Show differences between two files.

With Diffutils for Linux, you can use the diff command to show differences between two files, or each corresponding file in two directories. Command ' diff ' normally produces no output; for binary (non-text) files, diff normally reports only that they are different. You can use the 'cmp' command to show the offsets and line numbers where two files differ. 'cmp' can also show all the characters that differ between the two files, side by side. You can use the diff3 command to show differences among three files. When two people have made independent changes to a common original, diff3 can report the differences between the original and the two changed versions, and can produce a merged file that contains both persons' changes together with warnings about conflicts.
