+.Nm
+.Op Fl 123f
+.Ar file1 file2
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility reads
+.Ar file1
+and
+.Ar file2 ,
+which should be
+sorted lexically, and produces three text
+columns as output: lines only in
+.Ar file1 ;
+lines only in
+.Ar file2 ;
+and lines in both files.
+.Pp
+The filename ``-'' means the standard input.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl 1
+Suppress printing of column 1.
+.It Fl 2
+Suppress printing of column 2.
+.It Fl 3
+Suppress printing of column 3.
+.It Fl f
+Fold case in line comparisons.
+.El
+.Pp
+Each column will have a number of tab characters prepended to it
+equal to the number of lower numbered columns that are being printed.
+For example, if column number two is being suppressed, lines printed
+in column number one will not have any tabs preceding them, and lines
+printed in column number three will have one.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+assumes that the files are lexically sorted; all characters
+participate in line comparisons.
