When diff hits certain access errors, function diffreg() shows the error
message, and then returns to the calling function, which calls
print_status() with the return value.
However, in these cases, the return value isn't changed from the initial
default value of D_SAME.
Normally, print_status() with a value of D_SAME does nothing, so this
works out ok, however, if the "-s" flag is set, a message is displayed
showing identicality:
case D_SAME:
if (sflag)
printf("Files %s%s and %s%s are identical\n", path1, entry, path2, entry);
break;
This then produces such results as:
% diff -s /COPYRIGHT /var/run/rpcbind.sock
diff: /var/run/rpcbind.sock: Operation not supported
Files /COPYRIGHT and /var/run/rpcbind.sock are identical
% diff -s /COPYRIGHT /etc/master.passwd
diff: /etc/master.passwd: Permission denied
Files /COPYRIGHT and /etc/master.passwd are identical
Create a D_ERROR status which is returned in such cases, and
print_status() then deals with that status seperately from D_SAME

Previously -q (just print a line when files differ) ignored flags like
-w (ignore whitespace). Avoid the D_BRIEF short-circuit when flags are
in effect.

Instead of doing a second pass to skip empty lines if we've specified -I, go
ahead and check both at once. Ignore critera has been split out into its own
function to try and keep the logic cleaner.
As noted by cem in r338035, coccinelle invokes diff(1) with the -B flag.
This was not previously implemented here, so one was forced to create a link
for GNU diff to /usr/local/bin/diff
Implement the -B flag and add some primitive tests for it. It is implemented
in the same fashion that -I is implemented; each chunk's lines are scanned,
and if a non-blank line is encountered then the chunk will be output.
Otherwise, it's skipped.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

usr.bin/diff/diffreg.c: In function 'change':
usr.bin/diff/diffreg.c:1085: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function
This version of gcc is not smart enough to see that 'i' cannot actually
be used unitialized. However, the variable is confusingly re-used, so
it is better to give it another name, and clearly initialize it before
attempting to use it.

etcupdate(8) requires that option, while GNU diff supports many more variation
of that options, their behaviour beside the simple verion implemented here are
quite inconsistent as such I do not plan to implement those.
The only special keyword supported by this implementation are: %< and %>
%= is not implemented as the documentation of GNU diff says: common lines, but
it actually when tested print the changes from the first file
Show nanoseconds in the -u/-c header line.
The present portability conditionals cannot handle the POSIX standard
st_mtim, so remove them and unconditionally use st_mtim.
