docdiff(1)

NAME

docdiff -- character/word-oriented diff

SYNOPSIS

docdiff [options]  file1 file2

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the docdiff commands.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.

docdiff is a program that compares two files and shows the difference. It can compare files word by word, char by char, or line by line. It has several output formats such as HTML/XHTML, tty, Manued, or userdefined markup.

It supports several encodings and end-of-line characters, including ASCII, UTF-8, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, CR, LF, and CRLF.
