Research direction

Start with the GNU diff3 documentation linked in the issue and inspect how uutils' existing diff executable is organized. Define the implementation scope from GNU's diff3 behavior and verify that the resulting utility matches the documented command behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue

Currently uutils' diffutils only implements the diff executable.

But GNU's diffutils also provide cmp, diff3 and sdiff.

This issue is a tracker for the implementation of the diff3 utility.

Documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Invoking-diff3.html.
