.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Vimdiff
|
|
starts
|
|
.B Vim
|
|
on two (or three) files.
|
|
Each file gets its own window.

|
|
to another version of the same file.

When started as

|
.B gvimdiff
|
|
the GUI will be started, if available.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differences
|
|
to be highlighted.
|
|
.br
|
|
The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
|
|
.br
|
|
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.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|
