cdiff1

A wrapper tool for colordiff

Usage

cdiff {URL | FILE}

Overview

cdiff is a wrapper for colordiff and will add colour to a diff given in a URL or a file, e.g.

cdiff http://some.url.com/foo/thing.patch

It also adds support for reading gzip, bzip2, xz, and lzma compressed diffs, and like colordiff, also supports reading diffs from standard input if URL or a filename is not specified. cdiff pipes colordiff's output through less -R.
