NAME

diff - Perl Power Tools to compute `intelligent' differences between two files / lists

SYNOPSIS

Usage: $0 [{-c | -C lines -e | -f | -u | -U lines}] oldfile newfile

-c do a context diff with 3 lines of context
-C do a context diff with 'lines' lines of context (implies -c)
-e create a script for the ed editor to change oldfile to newfile
-f like -e but in reverse order
-u do a unified diff with 3 lines of context
-U do a unified diff with 'lines' lines of context (implies -u)
-q report only whether or not the files differ

By default it will do an "old-style" diff, with output like UNIX diff
