SDIFF(1) BSD General Commands Manual SDIFF(1)
NAME
sdiff -- side-by-side diff
SYNOPSIS
sdiff [-abdilstW] [-I regexp] [-o outfile] [-w width] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
sdiff displays two files side by side, with any differences between the two highlighted as follows: new lines are marked with '>'; deleted
lines are marked with '<'; and changed lines are marked with '|'.
sdiff can also be used to interactively merge two files, prompting at each set of differences. See the -o option for an explanation.
The options are:
-l Only print the left column for identical lines.
-o outfile
Interactively merge file1 and file2 into outfile. In this mode, the user is prompted for each set of differences. See EDITOR and
VISUAL, below, for details of which editor, if any, is invoked.
The commands are as follows:
l Choose left set of diffs.
r Choose right set of diffs.
s Silent mode - identical lines are not printed.
v Verbose mode - identical lines are printed.
e Start editing an empty file, which will be merged into outfile upon exiting the editor.
e l Start editing file with left set of diffs.
e r Start editing file with right set of diffs.
e b Start editing file with both sets of diffs.
q Quit sdiff.
-s Skip identical lines.
-w width
Print a maximum of width characters on each line. The default is 130 characters.
Options passed to diff(1) are:
-a Treat file1 and file2 as text files.
-b Ignore trailing blank spaces.
-d Minimize diff size.
-I regexp
Ignore line changes matching regexp. All lines in the change must match regexp for the change to be ignored.
-i Do a case-insensitive comparison.
-t Expand tabs to spaces.
-W Ignore all spaces (the -w flag is passed to diff(1)).
ENVIRONMENT
EDITOR, VISUAL
Specifies an editor to use with the -o option. If both EDITOR and VISUAL are set, VISUAL takes precedence. If neither EDITOR nor
VISUAL are set, the default is vi(1).
TMPDIR Specifies a directory for temporary files to be created. The default is /tmp.
SEE ALSO
diff(1), diff3(1), vi(1), re_format(7)
AUTHORS
sdiff was written from scratch for the public domain by Ray Lai <ray@cyth.net>.
CAVEATS
Although undocumented, sdiff supports all options supported by GNU sdiff. Some options require GNU diff.
Tabs are treated as anywhere from one to eight characters wide, depending on the current column. Terminals that treat tabs as eight charac-
ters wide will look best.
BUGS
sdiff may not work with binary data.
