diff compares text files, cmp compares binaries.

Subject: [newbie] How to compare two files?

Hi.

Suppose that a large text file has been slightly modified by another person,
and I want to find out 'a posteriori' what changes were done.
Is there a linux command (or set of commands) that can compare the two files
and tell what lines are different from one another?

Thanks,
Rodolfo
