textproc/xxdiff g20260517,1 FreeBSD

xxdiff is a graphical tool for viewing the differences between two or three files, or between two directories, and can produce a merged version thereof.

Some of its features:

• Comparing two files, three files, or two directories (shallow and recursive)
• Horizontal diffs highlighting
• Files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized and saved
• Has features to assist in performing merge reviews/policing
• Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged file and display them as two files, to help resolve conflicts
• Uses external diff program to compute differences: works with GNU diff, SGI diff and ClearCase's cleardiff, and any other diff whose output is similar to those
• Fully customizable with a resource file
• Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff; it is desktop agnostic (i.e. will work equally well with KDE or GNOME)
• Features and output that ease integration with scripts
