vdiff /vee'dif/ v.,n.
Visual diff. The operation of finding differences between two
files by eyeball search.
The term `optical diff' has also been reported, and is sometimes
more specifically used for the act of superimposing two nearly
identical printouts on one another and holding them up to a light
to spot differences. Though this method is poor for detecting
omissions in the `rear' file, it can also be used with printouts
of graphics, a claim few if any diff programs can make. See diff.
