- Compare 2 files, ignoring all tabs and whitespace:
`sdiff {{[-W|--ignore-all-space]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Compare 2 files, ignoring whitespace at the end of lines:
`sdiff {{[-Z|--ignore-trailing-space]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Compare 2 files in a case-insensitive manner:
`sdiff {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
