Hi,
in the documentation to diff is said under "Showing Differences Side by Side":
‘|’
The corresponding lines differ, and they are either both complete or
both incomplete.
What does _complete_ and _incomplete_ exactly mean, just newline is missing or
not?
How is _differ_ defined?
See also the examples in
*https://askubuntu.com/questions/1302054/when-does-diff-use-in-a-side-by-side-diff
and
*https://askubuntu.com/questions/1105189/diff-side-by-side-output-with-incomplete-sign
Thanks in advance
