FOLDOC dictionary database

This package contains the FOLDOC, the Free On Line Dictionary of Computing, supplemented by a number of Debian-specific definitions, formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package.

This package will be of limited use without the server found in the dictd package.

A Comprehensive English Dictionary

This package contains the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English, formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package. The GCIDE contains the full text of the 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, supplemented by many definitions from WordNet, the Century Dictionary, 1906, and many additional definitions contributed by volunteers.

The definitions in the core of this dictionary are at least 85 years old, so they can not be expected to be politically correct by contemporary standards, and no attempt has been, or will be, made to make them so.

This package will be of limited use without the server found in the dictd package, or another RFC 2229 compliant server.

The complete Jargon File is available in the jargon-text package.

compression utility for dictionary databases

This package also includes dictunzip, to decompress dictzipped files, and dictzcat, for viewing dictzipped files.

dummy transition package for diff-doc -> diffutils-doc

This is a dummy package to aid in transitioning from diff-doc to diffutils-doc. It may be safely removed after upgrading to squeeze.

produces graph of changes introduced by a diff file

This program is a simple filter that reads the output of the 'diff' program, and produces a histogram of the total number of lines that were changed. It is useful for scanning a patch file to see which files were changed.

File comparison utilities

The diffutils package provides the diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp programs.

`diff' shows differences between two files, or each corresponding file in two directories. `cmp' shows the offsets and line numbers where two files differ. `cmp' can also show all the characters that differ between the two files, side by side. `diff3' shows differences among three files. `sdiff' merges two files interactively.

The set of differences produced by `diff' can be used to distribute updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people. This method is especially useful when the differences are small compared to the complete files. Given `diff' output, the `patch' program can update, or "patch", a copy of the file.

documentation for GNU diffutils

This package contains HTML and info documentation for GNU diffutils.
