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.

algorithm::diff::xs
Algorithm::Diff::XS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Algorithm::Diff::XS(3pm)
NAME
Algorithm::Diff::XS - Algorithm::Diff with XS core loop
SYNOPSIS
# Drop-in replacement to Algorithm::Diff, but "compact_diff"
# and C<LCSidx> will run much faster for large data sets.
use Algorithm::Diff::XS qw( compact_diff LCSidx );
DESCRIPTION
This module is a simple re-packaging of Joe Schaefer's excellent but not very well-known Algorithm::LCS with a drop-in interface that
simply re-uses the installed version of the Algorithm::Diff module.
Note that only the "LCSidx" function is optimized in XS at the moment, which means only "compact_diff" will get significantly faster for
large data sets, while "diff" and "sdiff" will run in identical speed as "Algorithm::Diff".
BENCHMARK
Rate Algorithm::Diff Algorithm::Diff::XS
Algorithm::Diff 14.7/s -- -98%
Algorithm::Diff::XS 806/s 5402% --
The benchmarking script is as below:
my @data = ([qw/a b d/ x 50], [qw/b a d c/ x 50]);
cmpthese( 500, {
'Algorithm::Diff' => sub {
Algorithm::Diff::compact_diff(@data)
},
'Algorithm::Diff::XS' => sub {
Algorithm::Diff::XS::compact_diff(@data)
},
});
