NAME
       vimdiff - edit between two and eight versions of a file with Vim and show differences

SYNOPSIS
       vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4 [file5 [file6 [file7 [file8]]]]]]

       gvimdiff

DESCRIPTION
       Vimdiff	starts	Vim on two up to eight 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 available.

       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).
