-
- NAME
- vimdiff - edit two or three versions of a file with Vim
- and show differences
-
- SYNOPSIS
- vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3]
-
- gvimdiff
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Vimdiff starts Vim on two (or three) files. Each file
- gets its own window. The differences between the files
- are highlighted. This is a nice way to inspect changes
- and to move changes from one version to another version of
- the same file.
-
- See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.
-
- When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if
- available.
-
- In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes
- the differences to be highlighted.
- The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the
- text look good.
- The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts
- ranges of lines without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn'
- is set to two to make it easy to spot the folds and open
- or close them.
-
- OPTIONS
- Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the
- "-O" argument was used. To use horizontal splits intead,
- use the "-o" argument.
-
- For all other arguments see vim(1).
