NAME
idiff - interactive file comparison
SYNOPSIS
idiff [ option ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Idiff compares file1 with file2 using diff, then presents each set of
changed lines for selection or processing. File2 may be a directory;
in that case, the basename of file1 is appended.
For each group, legal responses are
< to retain the `from' lines
> to retain the `to' lines
e to edit both sets of lines
d to delete both sets
1 to retain the rest of the `from' file
2 to retain the rest of the `to' file
! to invoke a shell command
Lines that compare equal are copied verbatim from file1. Lines pro-
duced by this process, including the lines written from within the edi-
tor, are written to file idiff.out. Comparison may be affected by the
diff(1) options
-b Ignore trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) and treat other strings
of blanks as if they were a single space.
-B Ignore all blanks.
