.\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE! It was generated by help2man 1.27.
.TH DIFF "1" "April 2002" "diffutils 2.8.1" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
slack-diff \- compare file contents, modes, etc
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B slack-diff
[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIFILE1\fR \fIFILE2\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
A wrapper for diff that displays file modes and other metadata changes.
.TP
\fB\-u\fR \fB\-U\fR NUM \fB\-\-unified\fR[=\fINUM\fR]
Tell
.BR diff (1)
to use unified output format.
.TP
\fB\-\-diff\fR \fIPROG\fR
Use this program for diffing, instead of diff.
.TP
\fB\-\-fakediff\fR
Make a fake diff for file modes and other things that are not file
contents. Default is on, can be disabled with \-\-nofakediff.
.TP
\fB\-r\fR \fB\-\-recursive\fR
Recursively compare any subdirectories found.
.TP
\fB\-N\fR \fB\-\-new\-file\fR
Treat missing files as empty. Default is on, can be disabled with
\-\-nonew\-file.
.TP
\fB\-\-unidirectional\-new\-file\fR
Treat only missing files in the first directory as empty.
.TP
\fB\-\-from\-file\fR
Treat arguments as a list of files from which to read filenames to
compare, two lines at a time.
.TP
\fB\-0\fR \fB\-\-null\fR
Use NULLs instead of newlines as the separator in \-\-from\-file mode.
.TP
\fB\-\-devnullhack\fR
You have a version of diff that can't deal with \-N when not in
recursive mode, so we need to feed it /dev/null instead of the
missing file. Default is on, can be disabled with \-\-nodevnullhack.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
Output version info.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Output this help.
.PP
FILES are `FILE1 FILE2' or `DIR1 DIR2' or `DIR FILE...' or `FILE... DIR'.
If \fB\-\-from\-file\fR or \fB\-\-to\-file\fR is given, there are no restrictions on FILES.
If a FILE is `-', read standard input.
