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.
