Suppressing Case Differences

GNU diff can treat lowercase letters as equivalent to their uppercase counterparts, so that, for example, it considers 'Funky Stuff', 'funky STUFF', and 'fUNKy stuFf' to all be the same. To request this, use the '-i' or '--ignore-case' option. For more documentation, see the following.
