package diff

import "github.com/pkg/diff"

Package diff contains high level routines that generate a textual diff.

It is implemented in terms of the other packages in this module. If you want fine-grained control, want to inspect a diff programmatically, want to provide a context for cancellation, need to diff gigantic files that don't fit in memory, or want to diff unusual things, use the lower level packages.

Functions ¶

func Slices ¶

func Slices(aName, bName string, a, b interface{}, w io.Writer, options ...write.Option) error

Slices diffs slices a and b and writes the result to w. It uses fmt.Print to print the elements of a and b. It uses reflect.DeepEqual to compare elements of a and b. It uses aName and bName as the names of a and b in the output.

func Text ¶

func Text(aFile, bFile string, a, b interface{}, w io.Writer, options ...write.Option) error

Text diffs a and b and writes the result to w. It treats a and b as text, and splits their contents into lines using bufio.ScanLines. aFile and bFile are filenames to use in the output.

a and b each may be nil or may have type string, []byte, or io.Reader. If nil, the text is read from the filename.
