This is done with the &man.diff.1; - command, with the <quote>unified diff</quote> form + command, with the <quote>context diff</quote> form being preferred. For example:</para> <para> - <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>diff -u oldfile newfile</userinput></screen> + <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>diff -c oldfile newfile</userinput></screen> or - <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>diff -u -r olddir newdir</userinput></screen> + <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>diff -c -r olddir newdir</userinput></screen> - 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.
