💅 ERIC6_DIFF — bestie's guide to the lil graphical diff tool

okay so this is the manual page for eric6_diff, part of the eric6 family, and it lives in section 1 of the manual. it's giving "tiny tool, big vibes" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

eric6_diff — a simple graphical diff tool 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

eric6_compare [options] files...
yes bestie, the synopsis literally says eric6_compare up there. that's not me being messy, that's what the page says. copy it as-is, no cap. 💀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents the eric6_diff program briefly — just the highlights, the sparknotes, the lil teaser trailer. 🎀

and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has documentation provided in HTML format. so if you want the full lore, go find the HTML docs, bestie. 📚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below, and honestly? iconic. 👑

  • -h, --help — show summary of options. the "help me help you" flag 🫶
  • --version — show version of program. for when you need to know exactly which era of this software you're dealing with 📅
  • --nokde — don't use KDE widgets. lowkey minimalist of it 🌸
