Subject: bug#54366: option -L is not documented in the "diff --help" output
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2022 02:49:17 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Option -L is not documented in the "diff --help" output (and
as a consequence, in the generated diff.1 man page either).

The doc/diffutils.info file contains

'-L LABEL'
'--label=LABEL'
     Use LABEL instead of the file name in the context format (*note
     Context Format::) and unified format (*note Unified Format::)
     headers.  *Note RCS::.

so "    --label LABEL" should just be changed to "-L, --label LABEL"
in src/diff.c. Patch attached.
