lar
Add the lines in range r of the second file after line l of the first file. For example, `8a12,15' means append lines 12--15 of file 2 after line 8 of file 1; or, if changing file 2 into file 1, delete lines 12--15 of file 2.
fct
Replace the lines in range f of the first file with lines in range t of the second file. This is like a combined add and delete, but more compact. For example, `5,7c8,10' means change lines 5--7 of file 1 to read as lines 8--10 of file 2; or, if changing file 2 into file 1, change lines 8--10 of file 2 to read as lines 5--7 of file 1.
rdl
Delete the lines in range r from the first file; line l is where they would have appeared in the second file had they not been deleted. For example, `5,7d3' means delete lines 5--7 of file 1; or, if changing file 2 into file 1, append lines 5--7 of file 1 after line 3 of file 2.
