The diff utility is a data comparison tool that calculates and displays the differences between two files. It displays the changes made in a standard format, such that both humans and machines can understand the changes and apply them: given one file and the changes, the other file can be created. It is used to show the changes between two versions of the same file. Modern implementations also support binary files. The output is called a "diff", or a patch since the output can be applied with the Unix program patch.
