Bug ID: 252515
Summary: diff incorrectly reports files as different when with
-q -w options set
Product: Base System
Version: 12.2-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Two files that differ only in white space are NOT reported as different with
just the `-w' option set but ARE reported as different when `-q' is also set.
# echo "hello there" > /tmp/h1
# echo "hello there" > /tmp/h2
# diff -w /tmp/h1 /tmp/h2
# diff -qw /tmp/h1 /tmp/h2
Files /tmp/h1 and /tmp/h2 differ
Exit codes are also wrong (the second diff command above returns 1).
This is irrespective of long or short options names.
My reading of the man page suggests the `-q' option should not change the
behaviour of `-w'.
