NAME
       idiff - interactive diff

SYNOPSIS
       idiff [ -bw ] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
       Idiff interactively merges file1 and file2 onto standard output.	 Wher‐
       ever file1 and file2 differ, idiff  displays  the  differences  in  the
       style of ``diff -n'' on standard error and prompts the user to select a
       chunk.  Valid responses are:

       <      Use the chunk from file1.

       >      Use the chunk from file2.

       =      Use the diff output itself.

       q<, q>, q=
	      Use the given response for all future questions.

       !cmd   Execute cmd and prompt again.

       Idiff invokes diff(1) to compare the files.  The -b and	-w  flags,  if
       passed, are passed to diff.
