SYNOPSIS

       cut-diff [option ...] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION

       cut-diff is a diff command that uses diff feature in Cutter. It shows difference with color.

       It's  recommended  that  you  use  a  normal diff(1) when you want to use with patch(1) or you don't need
       color.

OPTIONS

       --version
              cut-diff shows its own version and exits.

       -c [yes|true|no|false|auto], --color=[yes|true|no|false|auto]
              If 'yes' or 'true' is specified, cut-diff uses colorized output by escape  sequence.  If  'no'  or
              'false'  is  specified,  cut-diff  never use colorized output. If 'auto' or the option is omitted,
              cut-diff uses colorized output if available.

              The default is auto.

       -u, --unified
              cut-diff uses unified diff format.

       --context-lines=LINES
              Shows diff context around LINES.

              All lines are shown by default. When unified diff format is used, 3 lines are shown by default.

       --label=LABEL, -L=LABEL
              Uses LABEL as a header label. The first--label option value is  used  as  file1's  label  and  the
              second --label option value is used asfile2's label.

              Labels are the same as file names by default.
