Of course, this is very tedious to type
/usr/bin/cdiff (in the colordiff package) would simplify that a bit :)

Er, thanks for the suggestion; but..

Unfortunately, it comes with no man/info page. If I try its --help
option, it shows me the help output for gzip (eh? O_o).

Interestingly enough, I did "yum install colordiff", and rpm was my friend at finding the documentation. ;o)

rpm -ql <package>	- list all files in package
rpm -qd <package>	- list documentation for package
rpm -qc <package>	- list config files for package


In amusing twist of irony, Google is not helpful either. (It gives me
results for the C. difficile toxin which is apparently a sign of very
bad gastrointestinal happenings...)

Where would I find appropriate documentation for this tool? I know I'm
missing something somewhere but it's 3:36 AM right now and my brain's
not entirely efficient. T_T

rpm can be your friend too!  ;oP
