Hello All,

I am trying to understand the practical use of "--horizon-lines=lines"
option in the diff utility.

Can i get some pointers on two sample files which can demonstrate the
use of --horizon-lines=lines

I understood the theory / definition from the info / man file.
However, I am unable to reproduce the scenario.

Request some pointers.
