     pdiff [OPTIONS] FILE-1 FILE-2 [-- A2PS-OPTIONS]

passed to a2ps.

   Supported options are:

 -- Option: -h
 -- Option: --help
     print a short help message and exit successfully.

 -- Option: -V
 -- Option: --version
     report the version and exit successfully.

 -- Option: -q
 -- Option: --quiet
 -- Option: --silent
     Run silently.

 -- Option: -D
 -- Option: --debug
     enter in debug mode.

 -- Option: --words
     Look for words differences (default).  White space differences are
     not considered.

 -- Option: -l
 -- Option: --lines
     Look for lines differences.

   It is possible to give options to a2ps (Note: Options) by
specifying them after '--'.  For instance
     pdiff COPYING COPYING.LIB -- -1 -P display

Compares the files 'COPYING' and 'COPYING.LIB', and prints it on the
printer 'display' (usually 'Ghostview' or 'gv').
