Documentation

Options to pass to ediff-diff-program.

If Unix diff is used as ediff-diff-program, then a useful option is -w, to ignore space. Options -c, -u, and -i are not allowed. Case sensitivity can be toggled interactively using M-x ediff-toggle-ignore-case (ediff-toggle-ignore-case).

Do not remove the default options. If you need to change this variable, add new options after the default ones.

This variable is not for customizing the look of the differences produced by the command M-x ediff-show-diff-output (ediff-show-diff-output). Use the variable ediff-custom-diff-options for that.
