Description-en: tool to colorize 'diff' output
ColorDiff is a wrapper for the 'diff' command. It produces
the same output as diff, but with colored highlighting to improve
readability. The color schemes can be customized.
.
The output is similar to the syntax-highlighting mode of Vim or Emacs
when editing a patch created by diff.
