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