Trying to understand .pacnew files

sorry just to confirm are you saying I just run as a command in terminal sudo DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff?

If that’s correct sorry if I’m missing things totally but what does that command do? So it’s not an environment variable?

Door bell hasn’t rung yet lol

I already have this command sudo find / -regextype posix-extended -regex ".+\.pac(new|save)" 2> /dev/null

So is the only difference that sudo DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff will check for .pacnew files and open them with meld if any are found?
