π cwdiff(1) β the hxtools glow-up π
okay so bestie, picture this: wdiff but it slays. yeah. that's the whole vibe. this is the manual page for cwdiff from the hxtools fam, and honestly? it's giving "small but iconic." π
β¨ Name β¨
cwdiff β run wdiff with color οΏ½π
like, literally that. the name says it all and it ate. no notes. π
πΈ Syntax πΈ
two files, that's it. *`file1`* and *`file2`*. hand them over and let the color happen. π«Ά (yes, in that order, we're not animals)

# π Description π
so what does it actually do? it runs `wdiff(1)` with the appropriate parameter to produce color β much like the `wdiff` output from the IETF website. π¦β¨
that's it. that's the tea. no cap, no secret flags hiding in a basement, just `wdiff` getting the color treatment it deserves so your diff actually looks good. main character energy for a diff tool, fr fr. ππ
> ngl, if you came here looking for a giant option list β this is not that page. `cwdiff` is short, sweet, and to the point. π
