a8diff
======
-----------------------------------------------------------
Show differences between two Atari 8-bit ATASCII text files
-----------------------------------------------------------
.. include:: manhdr.rst
SYNOPSIS
========
a8diff [*diff-options*] [**--** *a8cat-options*] *file1* *file2*
DESCRIPTION
===========
**a8diff** shows the differences between two ATASCII text files,
using **a8cat**\(1) and **diff**\(1).
OPTIONS
=======
**a8diff** takes no options of its own. It will pass options as-is
to both **a8cat** and **diff**. Use **--** to separate them: everything
before **--** is passed to **diff**, and everything between **--** and
the first filename is passed to **a8cat**.
EXAMPLE
=======
A.LST and B.LST were both created by the **LIST** command in BASIC.

EXIT STATUS
===========
0 for success. On failure, the exit status is that of whichever command
failed (**a8diff** or **diff**).
