DESCRIPTION

Show differences between files in a two column view.

OPTIONS

--cols = COLS

specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Unix only

--encoding = ENCODING

-E MATCHER, --exclude-lines = MATCHER

Do not diff lines that match this regex. Not compatible with the ’line-numbers’ option

--head = HEAD

consider only the first N lines of each file

-H , --highlight

color by changing the background color instead of the foreground color. Very fast, ugly, displays all changes

-L LABELS, --label = LABELS

override file labels with arbitrary tags. Use twice, one for each file. You may include the formatting strings ’{path}’ and ’{basename}’

-N , --line-numbers

generate output with line numbers. Not compatible with the ’exclude-lines’ option.

-r , --recursive

recursively compare subdirectories

-s , --report-identical-files

--show-no-spaces

don’t color whitespace-only changes

--tabsize = TABSIZE

tab stop spacing

-t , --truncate

truncate long lines instead of wrapping them

-u , --patch

generate patch. This is always true, and only exists for compatibility

-U NUM, --unified = NUM , --numlines = NUM

how many lines of context to print; can’t be combined with --whole-file

-W , --whole-file

show the whole file instead of just changed lines and context

-P , --permissions

compare the file permissions as well as the content of the file

--strip-trailing-cr

strip any trailing carriage return at the end of an input line

--is-git-diff

Show the real file name when displaying git-diff result
