Comparing Three Files
*********************
Use the program `diff3' to compare three files and show any
differences among them. (`diff3' can also merge files; see
diff3 Merging ).
The "normal" `diff3' output format shows each hunk of differences
without surrounding context. Hunks are labeled depending on whether
they are two-way or three-way, and lines are annotated by their
location in the input files.
