diff file sintax?

For a package I need to make a diff file. It is not fixed, it is based to the position of some lib.

So, what is a place with the description of the diff files sintax?

there's a command called suprisingly "diff"
if you do

diff file1 file2

it will output -in "diff file syntax"- the differences between the files

(diff is in package diffutils, if you don't have it installed)

ahaha, funny.
No really, I know diff makes diff files. The point is I have to make a diff file based on an unpredictable output. (i.e., paths). Making it with sed and >> should be easy knowing the syntax.

At the moment I did reverse engineering trying to guess from diff ouputs, but it would be good having a reliable reference in case of need.
