SYNOPSIS
| `idiff` [ `−bw` ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION

Wherever file1 and file2 differ, idiff displays the differences in the style of “`diff −n`” on standard error and prompts the user to select a chunk. Valid responses are: `<` Use the chunk from file1. `>` Use the chunk from file2. `=` Use the diff output itself. `q<`, `q>`, `q=`
| Use the given response for all future questions.
`!`cmdExecute cmd and prompt again.
Idiff invokes diff(1) to compare the files. The `−b` and `−w` flags, if passed, are passed to diff.
