This set of differences is often +called a "diff" or "patch". For files that are identical, `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. + + You can use the `sdiff' command to merge two files interactively. |
