+NAME
+ vimdiff - edit two, three or four versions of a file with Vim and show
+ differences
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4]]
+
+ gvimdiff
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ Vimdiff starts Vim on two (or three or four) files. Each file gets its
+ own window. The differences between the files are highlighted. This
+ is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version
+ to another version of the same file.
+
+ See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.
+
+ When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.
+
+ In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differ-
+ ences to be highlighted.
+ The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
+ The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines
+ without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
+ to spot the folds and open or close them.
+
+OPTIONS
+ Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument
+ was used. To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.
+
+ For all other arguments see vim(1).

+
+AUTHOR
+ Most of Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others.
+ See ":help credits" in Vim.
