<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>Vimdiff</B>
starts
<B>Vim</B>
on two (or three or four) 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.
<P>
See <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+vim">vim</A>(1) for details about Vim itself.
<P>
When started as
<B>gvimdiff</B>
the GUI will be started, if available.
<P>
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 &quot;diff&quot;, 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.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the &quot;-O&quot; argument was used.
To use horizontal splits instead, use the &quot;-o&quot; argument.
<P>
For all other arguments see <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+vim">vim</A>(1).

was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others.
