This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
significantly faster.

-The `configure' command has special options to work around bugs
-in some buggy file systems:
+Please see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
- configure --with-mvfs-stat-bug
- Work around ClearCase MVFS bug id ATRia04618.

- configure --with-nfs-stat-bug
- Work around a buggy NFS servers that assign the same
- (device number, inode number) pair to two distinct files.
-
- This bug can occur with Linux NFS servers
- that export all local filesystems as a single NFS filesystem,
- if a local device number (st_dev) exceeds 255,
- or if a local inode number (st_ino) exceeds 16777215.
+See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
- This bug also can occur with Network Appliance NFS servers
- in snapshot directories; see Netapp bug#1780.
