Bug ID: 233402
Summary: diff -N: loss of functionality
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
-N works without -r in GNU diff, which is useful because it can make scripts a
tiny bit simpler. this functionality got lost with the switch from GNU diff to
the OpenBSD one.
GNU/Linux:
roman@crowbar ~ master 0 1002 0 . echo fubar > snafu
roman@crowbar ~ master 0 1003 0 . diff snafu wtf
diff: wtf: No such file or directory
roman@crowbar ~ master 0 1004 2 . diff -N snafu wtf
1d0
< fubar
FreeBSD:
roman@sheeba ~ master :M 0 1003 2 . echo fubar > snafu
roman@sheeba ~ master :M 0 1004 0 . diff snafu wtf
diff: wtf: No such file or directory
roman@sheeba ~ master :M 0 1005 2 . diff -N snafu wtf
diff: wtf: No such file or directory
