+.SH Description
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I gdiffmk
+compares two
+.MR roff @MAN7EXT@
+documents,
+.I file1
+and
+.IR file2 ,
+and creates a
+.I roff
+document consisting of
+.I file2
+with added margin character
+.RB ( .mc )
+requests indicating output lines that differ from
+.I file1.
+.
+If the
+.I file1
+or
+.I file2
+argument is
+.RB \[lq] \- \[rq],
+.I gdiffmk
+reads the standard input stream for that input.
+.
+If the
+.I output
+operand is present,
+.I gdiffmk
+writes output to a file of that name.
+.
+If it is
+.RB \[lq] \- \[rq]
+or absent,
+.I gdiffmk
+writes output to the standard output stream.
+.
+.RB \[lq] \- \[rq]
+cannot be both an input and output operand.

+.TP
+.BI \-a\~ add-mark
+Use
+.I add-mark
+for source lines not in
+.I file1
+but present in
+.IR file2 .
+.
+Default:
+.RB \[lq] + \[rq].
+.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-B
+By default,
+the deleted texts marked by the
+.B \-D
+option end with an added
+.I roff
+break request,
+.BR .br ,
+to ensure that the deletions are marked properly.
+.
+This is the only way to guarantee that deletions and small
+changes get flagged.
+.
+This option directs the program not to insert these breaks;
+it makes no sense to use it without
+.BR \-D .
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-c\~ change-mark
+Use
+.I change-mark
+for changed source lines.
+.
+Default:

+Use the
+.I delete-mark

+.
+Default delimiting marks:
+.RB \[lq] [[ "\[rq] .\|.\|.\& \[lq]" ]] \[rq].
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-x\~ diff-command
+Use the
+.I diff-command
+command to perform the comparison of
+.I file1
+and
+.IR file2 .
+.
+In particular,
+.I diff-command
+should accept the GNU
+.MR diff 1
+.B \-D

+.SH Bugs
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+The output is not necessarily compatible with all macro packages
+and all preprocessors.
+.
+A workaround that often overcomes preprocessor problems is to run
+.I gdiffmk
+on the output of all the preprocessors instead of the input source.
+.
+.
+.LP
+.I gdiffmk
+relies on the
+.B \-D
+option of GNU
+.I diff
+to make a merged \[lq]#ifdef\[rq] output format.
+.
+Busybox
+.I diff
+is known to not support it.
+.
+Also see the
+.BI \-x\~ diff-command
+option.
