     DIFFS(1): compare zx files for differences
     __________________________________________________

     USAGE

         usage: diffs [-Dlqu] file [file]
             -D: debug
             -l: long output
             -q: quiet output (report which files differ)
             -u: use unix out

     DESCRIPTION

      Diffs compares files for differences, similar to the  UNIX  diff
     command. One set of files to compare is given through the command
     input and the  other  as  an  argument.  Or  both  are  given  as
     arguments.

     EXAMPLE

     Compare two trees rooted at /tmp/echo and ./echo and  report  the
     differences:

         ; diffs -u /tmp/echo,- echo,-

     Note that you might use more elaborate predicates, for example to
     select just Go source files.

     SOURCE

     +o    /zx/sys/src/clive/cmd/diffs

     BUGS

     This tool was written for text files and does not  handle  binary
     files, but it should.
