diffutils: sdiff Option Summary
9.1 Specifying 'diff' Options to 'sdiff'
========================================
The following 'sdiff' options have the same meaning as for 'diff'.
⇒diff Options, for the use of these options.
-a -b -d -i -t -v
-B -E -I REGEXP -Z
--expand-tabs
--ignore-blank-lines --ignore-case
--ignore-matching-lines=REGEXP --ignore-space-change
--ignore-tab-expansion --ignore-trailing-space
--left-column --minimal --speed-large-files
--strip-trailing-cr --suppress-common-lines
--tabsize=COLUMNS --text --version --width=COLUMNS
For historical reasons, 'sdiff' has alternate names for some options.
The '-l' option is equivalent to the '--left-column' option, and
similarly '-s' is equivalent to '--suppress-common-lines'. The meaning
of the 'sdiff' '-w' and '-W' options is interchanged from that of
'diff': with 'sdiff', '-w COLUMNS' is equivalent to '--width=COLUMNS',
and '-W' is equivalent to '--ignore-all-space'. 'sdiff' without the
'-o' option is equivalent to 'diff' with the '--side-by-side' ('-y')
option (⇒Side by Side).
