Thank you for your report. That was fixed on 2001-05-05. The current
text says this:
-1 suppress lines unique to FILE1
-2 suppress lines unique to FILE2
-3 suppress lines that appear in both files
You seem to be using an old version of textutils. Note that texutils
has been combined with fileutils and shellutils into a combined
package called coreutils. There have been many changes so be sure to
review the NEWS file.
Latest stable release:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz (6.3MB)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.bz2 (4.1MB)
(coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils)
Here is the announcement text:
