NAME
     vimdiff  -  edit  two, three or four versions of a file with
     Vim and show differences

SYNOPSIS
     vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4]]

     gvimdiff

DESCRIPTION
     Vimdiff starts Vim 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.

     See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.

     When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if  avail-
     able.

     In  each  window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes
     the differences to be highlighted.
     The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text
     look good.
     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.

OPTIONS
     Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the  "-O"
     argument  was  used.   To use horizontal splits instead, use
     the "-o" argument.

     For all other arguments see vim(1).
