This will compare URL1 with URL2.

This will open URL1 and expect it to be diff output. URL1 can also be a '-' and then it will read from standard input. Can be used for instance for cvs diff | kompare -o -. Kompare will do a check to see if it can find the original file(s) and then blend the original file(s) into the diffoutput and show that in the viewer. -n disables the check.

This will blend URL2 into URL1, URL2 is expected to be diff output and URL1 the file or folder that the diffoutput needs to be blended into.

Disables the check for automatically finding the original file(s) when using '-' as URL with the -o option.

Use this to specify the encoding when calling it from the command line. It will default to the local encoding if not specified.
