<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    <i>Idiff</i> interactively merges <i>file1</i> and <i>file2</i> onto standard output.
    Wherever <i>file1</i> and <i>file2</i> differ, <i>idiff</i> displays the differences
    in the style of &#8220;<tt><font size=+1>diff &#8722;n</font></tt>&#8221; on standard error and prompts the user
    to select a chunk. Valid responses are:<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&lt;</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the chunk from <i>file1</i>.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&gt;</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the chunk from <i>file2</i>.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>=</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the diff output itself.<br>

    <i>Idiff</i> invokes <a href="../man1/diff.html"><i>diff</i>(1)</a> to compare the files. The <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;b</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;w</font></tt> flags,
    if passed, are passed to <i>diff</i>.<br>
