regardless of the order in which those paragraphs are placed in the two different files

With that requirement I don't know any existing tool because those usually try to find the next identical sequence.

But writing such a tool for your requirement is not very difficult:

  • Read file 2 completely into allocated memory (one more byte to append a NULL char)
  • Count the number of lines (number of LF chars)
  • Allocate a buffer for char* pointers to hold the pointers to the beginning of each line
  • Fill the line pointer buffer (search for next LF and store address plus one)
  • Read file 1 line by line and check if that line matches any line from the file 2 buffer
  • If there is no match, write the line to file 3
