ERIC7_DIFF(1)

💖 eric7_diff — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so we're looking at eric7_diff, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and I'm gonna walk you through the whole thing like we're texting at 2am. no gatekeeping here. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

eric7_diff — a simple graphical diff tool 💅

that's it. that's the whole name section. she's simple, she's graphical, she diffs. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

eric7_compare [options] files...

and yes bestie, I clocked it too — the synopsis literally says eric7_compare even though this whole page is about eric7_diff. that's not me being messy, that's exactly what the page says, so I'm keeping it exactly as-is. no notes, we don't touch the sacred text. 🙈

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents the eric7_diff program, but like… briefly. quick lil overview, that's the vibe.

here's the tea though 🍓: this page was written for the Debian distribution, and that's specifically because the original program doesn't have a manual page at all. nope. instead, it ships its documentation in HTML format. so this page exists purely so Debian girlies have something to read in the terminal. real ones know. ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). and a summary of options is included below, because we are organized and we love that for us. 📋

• -h, --help — shows you a summary of the options. your little cheat sheet, your study guide, your notes app. 📝
• --version — shows the version of the program. know what you're running, bestie. 👑
• --nokde — don't use KDE widgets. that's it. that's the whole thing. she said no KDE today. 💀

⚠️ quick vibe check before you go: this page is a brief one. if you want the full documentation, remember it lives in HTML format, not here. don't come for me, come for the HTML. 😭
