MCDIFF(1)		    GNU	Midnight Commander		     MCDIFF(1)

NAME
       mcdiff -	Internal diff viewer of	GNU Midnight Commander.

USAGE
       mcdiff [-bcCdfhstVx?] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
       mcdiff  is  a  link  to mc, the main GNU	Midnight Commander executable.
       Executing GNU Midnight Commander	under this name	requests starting  the
       internal	 diff  viewer  which compares file1 and	file2 specified	on the
       command line.

OPTIONS
       -b     Force black and white display.

       -c     Force color mode on terminals where mcdiff defaults to black and
	      white.

       -C <keyword>=<fgcolor>,<bgcolor>,<attributes>:<keyword>=	...
	      Specify a	different color	set.  See the Colors section in	 mc(1)
	      for more information.

       -d     Disable mouse support.

       -f     Display  the  compiled-in	 search	 paths	for Midnight Commander
	      files.

       -t     Used only	if the code was	compiled with S-Lang and terminfo:  it
	      makes  the Midnight Commander use	the value of the TERMCAP vari-
	      able for the terminal information	instead	of the information  on
	      the system wide terminal database

       -V     Displays the version of the program.

       -x     Forces xterm mode.  Used when running on xterm-capable terminals
	      (two screen modes, and able to send mouse	escape sequences).

COLORS
       The  default  colors  may be changed by appending to the	MC_COLOR_TABLE
       environment variable.  Foreground and background	colors	pairs  may  be
       specified for example with:

       MC_COLOR_TABLE="$MC_COLOR_TABLE:\
       normal=lightgray,black:\
       selected=black,green"
