meld
- This is the command to execute the meld tool, which is a visual diff and merge tool.--diff
- This option is used to specify that you want to compare and display differences between two files.${filename_1}
- This is the first filename that you want to compare.${filename_2}
- This is the second filename that you want to compare against the first file.--diff
- This option is used again to specify that you want to compare and display differences between two files.${filename_3}
- This is the third filename that you want to compare.${filename_4}
- This is the fourth filename that you want to compare against the third file.

and filename_2
, as well as filename_3
and filename_4
