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"

FILES
       /usr/share/mc/mc.hlp

	      The help file for the program.

       /usr/share/mc/mc.ini

	      The  default  system-wide setup for GNU Midnight Commander, used
	      only if the user's own ~/.config/mc/ini file is missing.

       /usr/share/mc/mc.lib

	      Global settings for the Midnight Commander.   Settings  in  this
	      file  affect  all	 users,	 whether they have ~/.config/mc/ini or
	      not.

       ~/.config/mc/ini

	      User's own setup.	 If this file is present, the setup is	loaded
	      from here instead of the system-wide startup file.
