contents of +.Ar file1 +and +.Ar file2 +and writes to the standard output the list of changes necessary to +convert one file into the other. +No output is produced if the files are identical. +.Pp +Output options (mutually exclusive): +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl C Ar number +Like +.Fl c +but produces a diff with +.Ar number +lines of context. +.It Fl c +Produces a diff with 3 lines of context. +With +.Fl c +the output format is modified slightly: +the output begins with identification of the files involved and +their creation dates and then each change is separated +by a line with fifteen +.Li * Ns 's . +The lines removed from +.Ar file1 +are marked with +.Sq \-\ \& ; +those added to +.Ar file2 +are marked +.Sq +\ \& . +Lines which are changed from one file to the other are marked in +both files with +.Sq !\ \& . +Changes which lie within 3 lines of each other are grouped together on +output. +.It Fl D Ar string +Creates a merged version of +.Ar file1 +and +.Ar file2 +on the standard output, with C preprocessor controls included so that +a compilation of the result without defining +.Ar string +is equivalent to compiling +.Ar file1 , +while defining +.Ar string +will yield +.Ar file2 . +.It Fl e +Produces output in a form suitable as input for the editor utility, +.Xr ed 1 , +which can then be used to convert file1 into file2. +.Pp +Extra commands are added to the output when comparing directories with +.Fl e , +so that the result is a +.Xr sh 1 +script for converting text files which are common to the two directories +from their state in +.Ar dir1 +to their state in +.Ar dir2 . +.It Fl f +Identical output to that of the +.Fl e +flag, but in reverse order. +It cannot be digested by +.Xr ed 1 . +.It Fl n +Produces a script similar to that of +.Fl e , +but in the opposite order and with a count of changed lines on each +insert or delete command. +This is the form used by +.Xr rcsdiff 1 . +.It Fl q +Just print a line when the files differ. +Does not output a list of changes. +.It Fl U Ar number +Like +.Fl u +but produces a diff with +.Ar number +lines of context. +.It Fl u +Produces a +.Em unified +diff with 3 lines of context. +A unified diff is similar to the context diff produced by the +.Fl c +option. +However, unlike with +.Fl c , +all lines to be changed (added and/or removed) are present in +a single section. +.El +.Pp +Comparison options: +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl a +Treat all files as ASCII text. +Normally +.Nm +will simply print +.Dq Binary files ... differ +if files contain binary characters. +Use of this option forces +.Nm +to produce a diff. +.It Fl b +Causes trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) to be ignored, and other +strings of blanks to compare equal. +.It Fl d +Try very hard to produce a diff as small as possible. +This may consume a lot of processing power and memory when processing +large files with many changes. +.It Fl I Ar pattern +Ignores changes, insertions, and deletions whose lines match the +extended regular expression +.Ar pattern . +Multiple +.Fl I +patterns may be specified. +All lines in the change must match some pattern for the change to be +ignored. +See +.Xr re_format 7 +for more information on regular expression patterns. +.It Fl i +Ignores the case of letters. +E.g., +.Dq A +will compare equal to +.Dq a . +.It Fl L Ar label +Print +.Ar label +instead of the first (and second, if this option is specified twice) +file name and time in the context or unified diff header. +.It Fl p +With unified and context diffs, show with each change +the first 40 characters of the last line before the context beginning +with a letter, an underscore or a dollar sign. +For C source code following standard layout conventions, this will +show the prototype of the function the change applies to. +.It Fl T +Print a tab rather than a space before the rest of the line for the +normal, context or unified output formats. +This makes the alignment of tabs in the line consistent. +.It Fl t +Will expand tabs in output lines. +Normal or +.Fl c +output adds character(s) to the front of each line which may screw up +the indentation of the original source lines and make the output listing +difficult to interpret. +This option will preserve the original source's indentation. +.It Fl w +Is similar to +.Fl b +but causes whitespace (blanks and tabs) to be totally ignored. +E.g., +.Dq if (\ \&a == b \&) +will compare equal to +.Dq if(a==b) . +.El +.Pp +Directory comparison options: +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl N +If a file is found in only one directory, act as if it was found in the +other directory too but was of zero size. +.It Fl P +If a file is found only in +.Ar dir2 , +act as if it was found in +.Ar dir1 +too but was of zero size. +.It Fl r +Causes application of +.Nm +recursively to common subdirectories encountered. +.It Fl S Ar name +Re-starts a directory +.Nm +in the middle, beginning with file +.Ar name . +.It Fl s +Causes +.Nm +to report files which are the same, which are otherwise not mentioned. +.It Fl X Ar file +Exclude files and subdirectories from comparison whose basenames match +lines in +.Ar file . +Multiple +.Fl X +options may be specified. +.It Fl x Ar pattern +Exclude files and subdirectories from comparison whose basenames match +.Ar pattern . +Patterns are matched using shell-style globbing via +.Xr fnmatch 3 . +Multiple +.Fl x +options may be specified. +.El +.Pp +If both arguments are directories, +.Nm +sorts the contents of the directories by name, and then runs the +regular file +.Nm +algorithm, producing a change list, +on text files which are different. +Binary files which differ, +common subdirectories, and files which appear in only one directory +are described as such. +In directory mode only regular files and directories are compared. +If a non-regular file such as a device special file or FIFO +is encountered, a diagnostic message is printed. +.Pp +If only one of +.Ar file1 +and +.Ar file2 +is a directory, +.Nm +is applied to the non-directory file and the file contained in +the directory file with a filename that is the same as the +last component of the non-directory file. +.Pp +If either +.Ar file1 +or +.Ar file2 +is +.Sq - , +the standard input is +used in its place. +.Ss Output Style +The default (without +.Fl e , +.Fl c , +or +.Fl n +.\" -C +options) +output contains lines of these forms, where +.Va XX , YY , ZZ , QQ +are line numbers respective of file order. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width "XX,YYcZZ,QQ" -compact +.It Li XX Ns Ic a Ns Li YY +At (the end of) line +.Va XX +of +.Ar file1 , +append the contents +of line +.Va YY +of +.Ar file2 +to make them equal. +.It Li XX Ns Ic a Ns Li YY,ZZ +Same as above, but append the range of lines, +.Va YY +through +.Va ZZ +of +.Ar file2 +to line +.Va XX +of file1. +.It Li XX Ns Ic d Ns Li YY +At line +.Va XX +delete +the line. +The value +.Va YY +tells to which line the change would bring +.Ar file1 +in line with +.Ar file2 . +.It Li XX,YY Ns Ic d Ns Li ZZ +Delete the range of lines +.Va XX +through +.Va YY +in +.Ar file1 . +.It Li XX Ns Ic c Ns Li YY +Change the line +.Va XX +in +.Ar file1 +to the line +.Va YY +in +.Ar file2 . +.It Li XX,YY Ns Ic c Ns Li ZZ +Replace the range of specified lines with the line +.Va ZZ . +.It Li XX,YY Ns Ic c Ns Li ZZ,QQ +Replace the range +.Va XX , Ns Va YY +from +.Ar file1 +with the range +.Va ZZ , Ns Va QQ +from +.Ar file2 . +.El +.Pp +These lines resemble +.Xr ed 1 +subcommands to convert +.Ar file1 +into +.Ar file2 . +The line numbers before the action letters pertain to +.Ar file1 ; +those after pertain to +.Ar file2 . +Thus, by exchanging +.Ic a +for +.Ic d +and reading the line in reverse order, one can also +determine how to convert +.Ar file2 +into +.Ar file1 . +As in +.Xr ed 1 ,
