Hi, I'm trying to understand the --help output from diff: diff [OPTION]... FILES [...] FILES are 'FILE1 FILE2' or 'DIR1 DIR2' or 'DIR FILE...' or 'FILE... DIR'. [...] I'm not sure how to trigger the "FILE..." behaviour. It doesn't seem to work for me: touch a b mkdir -p dir echo "A" > dir/a echo "B" > dir/b diff a b dir/ gives: diff: extra operand 'dir/' diff: Try 'diff --help' for more information. The original bug report is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1079076 Thanks, Tim. */
