diff Options to sdiff
The following sdiff options have the same meaning as for
diff. See section Options to diff, for the use of these options.
-a -b -d -i -t -v -B -H -I regexp --ignore-blank-lines --ignore-case --ignore-matching-lines=regexp --ignore-space-change --left-column --minimal --speed-large-files --suppress-common-lines --expand-tabs --text --version --width=columns
For historical reasons, sdiff has alternate names for some
options. The `-l' option is equivalent to the `--left-column'
option, and similarly `-s' is equivalent to
`--suppress-common-lines'. The meaning of the sdiff
`-w' and `-W' options is interchanged from that of
diff: with sdiff, `-w columns' is equivalent to
`--width=columns', and `-W' is equivalent to
`--ignore-all-space'. sdiff without the `-o' option is
equivalent to diff with the `-y' or `--side-by-side'
option (see section Showing Differences Side by Side).
