https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D170624 Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |emaste@freebsd.org --- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- BSD diff in HEAD does not emit the somewhat confusing error message, and as described in the man page just skips the devices. % man diff | grep -A2 'directory mode' directory are described as such. In directory mode only regular files and directories are compared. If a non-regular file such as a device special file or FIFO is encountered, a diagnostic message is printed. % diff -qr dir1 dir2=20=20=20=20 File dir1/a is not a regular file or directory and was skipped --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
