✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vldiff [options] file1 file2

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so, real talk: this manual page documents briefly the vldiff command. Brief. Like, it's not gonna write your essay for you, it's just gonna tell you what's up. 🫶

vldiff is a program that displays diffs using the VCS::Lite perl module. That's the whole vibe. It diffs things. Via VCS::Lite. Slay. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). A summary of options is included below. 👑

  • -u, --unified — output in diff -u format 💅 iconic behavior honestly
  • -w n, --window n — set window size to n lines either side 🌈 equal energy both directions
  • -w m,n, --window m,n — set window to m lines before, n lines after 🦋 asymmetric but make it fashion
not me giving you three whole options and zero filler. we keep it tight here bestie. 🍓
