+.SH NAME
+diff3 \- compare three files line by line
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B diff3
+[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIMYFILE OLDFILE YOURFILE\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Compare three files line by line.
+.PP
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
+.TP
+\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-show\-all\fR
+output all changes, bracketing conflicts
+.TP
+\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-ed\fR
+output ed script incorporating changes
+from OLDFILE to YOURFILE into MYFILE
+.TP
+\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-show\-overlap\fR
+like \fB\-e\fR, but bracket conflicts
+.TP
+\fB\-3\fR, \fB\-\-easy\-only\fR
+like \fB\-e\fR, but incorporate only nonoverlapping changes
+.TP
+\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-overlap\-only\fR
+like \fB\-e\fR, but incorporate only overlapping changes
+.TP
+\fB\-X\fR
+like \fB\-x\fR, but bracket conflicts
+.TP
+\fB\-i\fR
+append `w' and `q' commands to ed scripts
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-merge\fR
+output actual merged file, according to
+\fB\-A\fR if no other options are given
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-text\fR
+treat all files as text
+.TP
+\fB\-\-strip\-trailing\-cr\fR
+strip trailing carriage return on input
+.TP
+\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-initial\-tab\fR
+make tabs line up by prepending a tab
+.TP
+\fB\-\-diff\-program\fR=\fIPROGRAM\fR
+use PROGRAM to compare files
+.TP
+\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-label\fR=\fILABEL\fR
+use LABEL instead of file name
+(can be repeated up to three times)
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+display this help and exit
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+output version information and exit
+.PP
+The default output format is a somewhat human\-readable representation of
+the changes.
+.PP
+The \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-E\fR, \fB\-x\fR, \fB\-X\fR (and corresponding long) options cause an ed script
+to be output instead of the default.
+.PP
+Finally, the \fB\-m\fR (\fB\-\-merge\fR) option causes diff3 to do the merge internally
+and output the actual merged file. For unusual input, this is more
+robust than using ed.
+.PP
+If a FILE is `\-', read standard input.
+Exit status is 0 if successful, 1 if conflicts, 2 if trouble.
