- NAME
- diff - print differences between two files
- SYNOPSIS
- diff [-c | -e | -C n] [-br]file1 file2
- OPTIONS
- -C n Produce output that contains n lines of context
- -b Ignore white space when comparing
- -c Produce output that contains three lines of context
- -e Produce an ed-script to convert file1 into file2
- -r Apply diff recursively to files and directories of
- EXAMPLES
- diff file1 file2 # Print differences between 2 files
- diff -C 0 file1 file2
- # Same as above
- diff -C 3 file1 file2
- # Output three lines of context with every
- diff -c file1 file2 # Same
- diff /etc /dev # Compares recursively the directories /etc and /dev
- diff passwd /etc # Compares ./passwd to /etc/passwd
- DESCRIPTION
- the same name, when file1 and file2 are both directories" difference
- encountered"
- Diff compares two files and generates a list of lines telling how the two
- files differ. Lines may not be longer than 128 characters. If the two
- arguments on the command line are both directories, diff recursively
- steps through all subdirectories comparing files of the same name. If a
- file name is found only in one directory, a diagnostic message is written
- to stdout. A file that is of either block special, character special or
- FIFO special type, cannot be compared to any other file. On the other
- hand, if there is one directory and one file given on the command line,
- diff tries to compare the file with the same name as file in the
- directory directory.
