xxdiff is a computer program that allows a user (usually a software
|
||
|
|
developer of some sort) to easily visualize the differences between
|
||
|
|
files. The manner and goal for which this process is applied over
|
||
|
|
multiple files is highly dependent on the application, and most of
|
||
|
|
the time is driven by custom user scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, a configuration management engineer in a company might
|
||
|
|
provide some kind of merge policing environment, that allows software
|
||
|
|
developers to review changes in files for the purpose of accepting or
|
||
|
|
rejecting a submitted changeset to a codebase. Another example is
|
||
|
|
that of a developer wishing to review the changes he made to a
|
||
|
|
checkout of files from a source-code management system such as CVS,
|
||
|
|
Subversion, ClearCase, Perforce, etc.
