Description: graphical file/directory comparison and merge tool
xxdiff is a powerful tool for viewing the differences between two or three
files, or two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version. The
texts of the two or three files are presented side by side with their
differences highlighted with colors for easy identification. Among its
features are:
.
* Compares two or three files, or two directories (shallow and recursive)
* Horizontal highlighting of diffs
* Interactive merges, previewing and saving of the resulting output
* Unmerges CVS conflicts and displays two files, to help resolve conflicts
* Fully customizable with a resource file
* Features and output that ease integration with scripts
.
The scripts that accompany xxdiff can be found in the xxdiff-scripts package.
