Answer / chandra
If both arguments are directories, diff sorts the contents
of the
directories by name, then runs the regular file diff
algorithm
(described below) on text files that have the same
name in each
directory but are different. Binary files that
differ, common
subdirectories, and files that appear in only one
directory are
listed.
