-a::
Shorthand for "--text".
--ignore-space-change::
Ignore changes in amount of white space. This ignores white
space at line end, and consider all other sequences of one or
more white space characters to be equivalent.
-b::
Shorthand for "--ignore-space-change".
--ignore-all-space::
Ignore white space when comparing lines. This ignores
difference even if one line has white space where the other
line has none.

Shorthand for "--ignore-all-space".
