+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+icdiff [*-options*] left_file right_file
+
+git-icdiff [*git diff options*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+**icdiff** show differences between files in a colorful two column view.
+
+**git-icdiff** is a wrapper around **git diff** that uses **icdiff** to show diffs.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+--version show program's version number and exit
+-h, --help show this help message and exit
+--cols=COLS specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Unix only
+--encoding=ENCODING specify the file encoding; defaults to utf8
+-E MATCHER, --exclude-lines=MATCHER
+ Do not diff lines that match this regex. Not compatible with the 'line-numbers' option
+--head=HEAD consider only the first N lines of each file
+-H, --highlight color by changing the background color instead of the foreground color. Very fast, ugly, displays all changes
+-L LABELS, --label=LABELS
+ override file labels with arbitrary tags. Use twice, one for each file
+-N, --line-numbers generate output with line numbers. Not compatible with the 'exclude-lines' option.
+--no-bold use non-bold colors; recommended for solarized
+--no-headers don't label the left and right sides with their file names
+--output-encoding=OUTPUT_ENCODING
+ specify the output encoding; defaults to utf8
+-r, --recursive recursively compare subdirectories
+--show-all-spaces color all non-matching whitespace including that which is not needed for drawing the eye to changes. Slow, ugly, displays all changes
+--tabsize=TABSIZE tab stop spacing
+-u, --patch generate patch. This is always true, and only exists for compatibility
+-U NUM, --unified=NUM, --numlines=NUM
+ how many lines of context to print; can't be combined with --whole-file
+-W, --whole-file show the whole file instead of just changed lines and context
+--strip-trailing-cr strip any trailing carriage return at the end of an input line
+--color-map=COLOR_MAP
+ choose which colors are used for which items. Default is --color-map='add:green_bold,change:yellow_bold,description:blue,meta:magenta,separator:blue,subtract:red_bold'. You don't have to override all of them: '--color-map=separator:white,description:cyan'
+
+NOTE
+====
+
+It's highly recommended to use wide terminals with **icdiff**, for
+instance 160 columns or more.
