VDIFF(1)                                                 VDIFF(1)

     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.  Press-
          ing q or del will exit vdiff.

          A menu may be summoned with button 2 of the mouse.  It pro-
          vides 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.
