Research direction
Start by locating the diffutils utilities and their existing --help and --version entry points; the issue notes that diffutils currently supports neither. Check each utility's output against the requested uutils identification text, including the related utilities listed in the report, and consider the work done when the relevant help and version outputs identify uutils.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I had a tool in $PATH and needed to determine whether its from GNU coreutils/findutils/... , busybox, or uutils. While the GNU and Busybox state their origin in the --help and --version , uutils stays (mostly) silent about its origin.
Add something like part of uutils to --help and also mention uutils in the --version output.
diffutils currently does support neither --version nor --help.
Note: This bug is part of a series of bugreports across all tools of uutils. Please check wether I've covered all your utilities.
