This is done with the &man.diff.1; - command, with the unified diff form + command, with the context diff form being preferred. For example: - &prompt.user; diff -u oldfile newfile + &prompt.user; diff -c oldfile newfile or - &prompt.user; diff -u -r olddir newdir + &prompt.user; diff -c -r olddir newdir - would generate such a set of unified diffs for the given source file + would generate such a set of context diffs for the given source file or directory hierarchy.
