How to check the variable differences between 2 df in R?

I would like to check which Cols are extra in the first DF but not visible in the second.

Do we have any function in dplyr perhaps which could help? It would be nice if this could list out the column names only which are surplus.

We can use setdiff

setdiff(names(df1), names(df2))
#[1] "b" "c"

data

df1 <- data.frame(a = 1:5, b = 6:10, c = 12:16)
df2  <- data.frame(a = 11:15)
