 Invoking `sdiff'
 ****************
 
    The `sdiff' command merges two files and interactively outputs the
 results.  Its arguments are as follows:
 
      sdiff -o OUTFILE OPTIONS... FROM-FILE TO-FILE
 
    This merges FROM-FILE with TO-FILE, with output to OUTFILE.  If
 FROM-FILE is a directory and TO-FILE is not, `sdiff' compares the file
 in FROM-FILE whose file name is that of TO-FILE, and vice versa.
 FROM-FILE and TO-FILE may not both be directories.
 
    `sdiff' options begin with `-', so normally FROM-FILE and TO-FILE
 may not begin with `-'.  However, `--' as an argument by itself treats
 the remaining arguments as file names even if they begin with `-'.  You
 may not use `-' as an input file.
 
    `sdiff' without `-o' (or `--output') produces a side-by-side
 difference.  This usage is obsolete; use the `-y' or `--side-by-side'
 option of `diff' instead.
 
    An exit status of 0 means no differences were found, 1 means some
 differences were found, and 2 means trouble.
