There are two separate External Diff Command settings, one for comparing two versions of a single file, and one for comparing multiple files (two directory trees).

The Arguments field contains arguments passed to the executable. Certain variables specified in the Argument field are substituted when the external diff command is invoked.  Click the Variables button to view the list of available variables and their descriptions.
