NAME
diff - compare two files
SYNOPSIS
diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n | -u] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-C number | -U number] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-D string] file1 file2
diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n | -u] [-l] [-r] [-s]
[-S name] directory1 directory2
DESCRIPTION
The diff utility compares the contents of file1 and file2 and writes to
standard output a list of changes necessary to convert file1 into
file2. This list should be minimal. Except in rare circumstances, diff
finds a smallest sufficient set of file differences. No output is pro‐
duced if the files are identical.
The normal output contains lines of these forms:
n1 a n3,n4
n1,n2 d n3
n1,n2 c n3,n4
where n1 and n2 represent lines file1 and n3 and n4 represent lines in
file2 These lines resemble ed(1) commands to convert file1 to file2. By
exchanging a for d and reading backward, file2 can be converted to
file1. As in ed, identical pairs, where n1=n2 or n3=n4, are abbreviated
as a single number.
Following each of these lines come all the lines that are affected in
the first file flagged by '<', then all the lines that are affected in
the second file flagged by '>'.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b
Ignores trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) and treats other strings
of blanks as equivalent.
-i
Ignores the case of letters. For example, 'A' compares equal to
'a'.
-t
Expands TAB characters in output lines. Normal or -c output adds
character(s) to the front of each line that can adversely affect
the indentation of the original source lines and make the output
lines difficult to interpret. This option preserves the original
source's indentation.
-w
Ignores all blanks (SPACE and TAB characters) and treats all other
strings of blanks as equivalent. For example, 'if ( a == b )' com‐
pares equal to 'if(a==b)'.
The following options are mutually exclusive:
-c
Produces a listing of differences with three lines of context. With
this option, output format is modified slightly. That is, output
begins with identification of the files involved and their creation
dates, then each change is separated by a line with a dozen *'s.
The lines removed from file1 are marked with '−'. The lines added
to file2 are marked '+'. Lines that are changed from one file to
the other are marked in both files with '!'.
-C number
Produces a listing of differences identical to that produced by -c
with number lines of context.
-D string
Creates a merged version of file1 and file2 with C preprocessor
controls included so that a compilation of the result without
defining string is equivalent to compiling file1, while defining
string yields file2.
-e
Produces a script of only a, c, and d commands for the editor ed,
which re-creates file2 from file1. In connection with the -e
option, the following shell program can help maintain multiple ver‐
sions of a file. Only an ancestral file ($1) and a chain of ver‐
sion-to-version ed scripts ($2,$3,...) made by diff need be on
hand. A "latest version" appears on the standard output.
(shift; cat $*; echo ´1,$p') | ed − $1
-f
Produces a similar script, not useful with ed, in the opposite
order.
-h
Does a fast, uninspired job.
This option only works when changed stretches are short and well-
separated. It does work on files of unlimited length.
Only -b is available with -h.
diff does not descend into directories with this option.
-n
Produces a script similar to -e, but in the opposite order and with
a count of changed lines on each insert or delete command.
-u
Produces a listing of differences with three lines of context. The
output is similar to that of the -c option, except that the context
is "unified". Removed and changed lines in file1 are marked by a
'-' while lines added or changed in file2 are marked by a '+'. Both
versions of changed lines appear in the output, while added,
removed, and context lines appear only once. The identification of
file1 and file2 is different, with "−−−" and "+++" being printed
where "***" and "−−−" would appear with the -c option. Each change
is separated by a line of the form
@@ -n1,n2 +n3,n4 @@
-U number
Produces a listing of differences identical to that produced by -u
with number lines of context.
The following options are used for comparing directories:
-l
Produces output in long format. Before the diff, each text file is
piped through pr(1) to paginate it. Other differences are remem‐
bered and summarized after all text file differences are reported.
-r
Applies diff recursively to common subdirectories encountered.
-s
Reports files that are identical. These identical files would not
otherwise be mentioned.
-S name
Starts a directory diff in the middle, beginning with the file
name.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file1 A path name of a file or directory to be compared. If
file2 either file1 or file2 is −, the standard input is used in
its place.
directory1 A path name of a directory to be compared.
directory2
If only one of file1 and file2 is a directory, diff 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.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the diff Command
In the following command, dir1 is a directory containing a directory
named x, dir2 is a directory containing a directory named x, dir1/x and
dir2/x both contain files named date.out, and dir2/x contains a file
named y:
example% diff -r dir1 dir2
Common subdirectories: dir1/x and dir2/x
Only in dir2/x: y
diff -r dir1/x/date.out dir2/x/date.out

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables
that affect the execution of diff: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES,
LC_TIME, and NLSPATH.
TZ Determines the locale for affecting the time zone used for calcu‐
lating file timestamps written with the -C and -c options.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 No differences were found.
1 Differences were found.
> 1 An error occurred.
FILES
/tmp/d????? Temporary file used for comparison
/usr/lib/diffh Executable file for the -h option

NOTES
Editing scripts produced under the -e or -f options are naive about
creating lines consisting of a single period (.).
Missing NEWLINE at end of file indicates that the last line of the file
in question did not have a NEWLINE. If the lines are different, they
are flagged and output, although the output seems to indicate they are
the same.
