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 ver‐
       sion 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).
