## 1 Overview ¶

`wdiff` is a front end to `diff` for comparing files on a word per word basis. It works by creating two temporary files, one word per line, and then executes `diff` on these files. It collects the `diff` output and uses it to produce a nicer display of word differences between the original files.

`wdiff` was written by François Pinard. Please report bugs to wdiff-bugs@gnu.org. Include the version number, which you can find by running the program with `--version`. Please include in your message sufficient input to reproduce what you got, the output you indeed expected, and careful explanations about the nature of the problem.
