+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
+This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
+Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
+
+The 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib' scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
+`.`) by other shell scripts to set up functions for working
+with Git merge tools.
+
+Before sourcing 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib', your script must set `TOOL_MODE`
+to define the operation mode for the functions listed below.
+'diff' and 'merge' are valid values.
+
+FUNCTIONS
+---------
+get_merge_tool::
+ Returns a merge tool. The return code is 1 if we returned a guessed
+ merge tool, else 0. '$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI' may be set to 'true' to
+ search for the appropriate guitool.
+
+get_merge_tool_cmd::
+ Returns the custom command for a merge tool.
+
+get_merge_tool_path::
+ Returns the custom path for a merge tool.
+
+initialize_merge_tool::

+ overridden.
+
+run_merge_tool::
