Diffutils are a collection of programs for finding differences between files: * diff -- displays differences between 2 files line by line; * diff3 -- displays differences between 3 files (usually, 2 files and their common ancestor); * sdiff -- displays differences between 2 files side by side, and allows to merge between them interactively; * cmp -- displays differences between 2 binary files byte by byte. The documentation of the package includes, in addition to the 4 programs mentioned above, also the manual for the Patch utility. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - There are neither djgpp specific changes nor user visible changes at all.
