6.3.10 diffutils
The DIFFUTILS package includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3, and sdiff. The
diff command compares two files and shows the differences, line by line. The
cmp command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp
can show the characters that differ between the two files. The diff3 command
shows the differences between three files, and can be used when two people
have made independent changes to a common original; diff3 can produce a
merged file that contains both sets of changes and warnings about conflicts. The
sdiff command can be used to merge two files interactively.
