Creating a patch for a single file:

[cameron@jack thttpd]$ diff -c thttpd-2.22beta5cg/thttpd.c thttpd-2.22beta5cg-me/thttpd.c

      /* This is our version of Apache's lingering_close() routine, which is
      ** their version of the often-broken SO_LINGER socket option.  For why
[cameron@jack thttpd]$ 
to a file makes more sense:
[cameron@jack thttpd]$ diff -c thttpd-2.22beta5cg/thttpd.c thttpd-2.22beta5cg-me/thttpd.c > lingering-close-2.22beta5.patch
[cameron@jack thttpd]$ 

To do whole directories use -r, but you'll want to add -P so new files in the second directory are added (so you can use with patch).

[cameron@jack opensrs]$ diff -c -r -P opensrs-client-2.41 opensrs-client-2.52 > opensrs-diff.patch
[cameron@jack opensrs]$
