NAME

	vdiff – a visual diff viewer

SYNOPSIS

	vdiff [ –b ] [ –p nstrip ] [ patches... ]

DESCRIPTION

Vdiff reads unified diff output from the list of patches or standard input and displays a colored version. Each file within the diff is displayed in a separate block that can be collapsed by clicking on the file name. Right clicking on a line will send a plumb(6) message to the edit port. Pressing q or del will exit vdiff. A menu may be summoned with button 2 of the mouse. It provides menu items for collapsing and expanding all files, as well as items for each patch present in the input. Vdiff understands terminators supplied by git/export(2). The –b flag changes the color scheme to white text on a black background. The –p flag removes nstrip path elements from the path before plumbing.
