Maximum input file size in "Diff" Command

Hello,

Can anyone let me know what is the maximum file size that can be given as input for the "Diff" Command in Unix?

I have a file size as large as 28MB and which can also increase. Will I face any issues with such a file size. If yes, What is the other alternative.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The alternative if the file is too big would be bdiff. Check the man page for diff under WARNINGS for more info.
