NAME
       xxdiff - a graphical file comparator and merge tool

SYNOPSIS
       xxdiff [OPTIONS] <path> <path> [<path>]

OVERVIEW
       xxdiff is a graphical file and directories comparison and
       merge tool. It can be used for viewing the differences
       between two or three files, or two directories, and can be
       used to produce a merged version. The texts of the two or
       three files are presented side by side with their differ-
       ences highlighted with colors for easy identification.

       The paths supplied on the command line identify the files
       to be compared.	The paths may be one of three things:  a
       regular file, a directory or a '-', in which case the
       input for that path will be read from standard input.  If
       the paths are all directories, a directory diff will be
       performed.  If at least one path is a file or a '-', a
       file diff will be performed.  If there are directory names
       along with file names, the basename of the file name will
       be appended to the directory names to find the other files
       to compare with.	 If there are multiple file names speci-
       fied and some directories names as well, xxdiff bails out,
       since it doesn't know which basename to use for the miss-
       ing one.

       Please consult xxdiff --help for more documentation.
