SYNOPSIS
icdiff [options] left_file right_file
DESCRIPTION
Show differences between files in a two column view.
OPTIONS
--version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit --cols=COLS specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Unix only --encoding=ENCODING specify the file encoding; defaults to utf8 -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. --no-bold use non-bold colors; recommended for solarized --no-headers don't label the left and right sides with their file names --output-encoding=OUTPUT_ENCODING specify the output encoding; defaults to utf8 -r, --recursive recursively compare subdirectories -s, --report-identical-files report when two files are the same --show-all-spaces color all non-matching whitespace including that which is not needed for drawing the eye to changes. Slow, ugly, displays all 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 --color-map=COLOR_MAP choose which colors are used for which items. Default is --color-map='add:green_bold,change:yellow_bold,desc ription:blue,line-numbers:white,meta:magenta,permissio ns:yellow,separator:blue,subtract:red_bold'. You don't have to override all of them: '--colormap=separator:white,description:cyan --is-git-diff Show the real file name when displaying git-diff result -x PAT, --exclude=PAT exclude files that match PAT
