diffoscope will try to get to the bottom of what makes files or
|
|
directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many kinds
|
|
and transform various binary formats into more human readable form to
|
|
compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF just as
|
|
easily.
|
|
|
|
It can be scripted through error codes, and a report can be produced
|
|
with the detected differences. The report can be text or HTML.
|
|
When no type of report has been selected, diffoscope defaults
|
|
to write a text report on the standard output.
|
|
|
|
diffoscope will exit with 0 if there's no differences and 1 if there
|
|
are. An HTML report can be produced with the detected differences.
|
|
|
|
diffoscope is developed as part of the "reproducible builds" Debian
|
|
project.
|
|
It is meant to be able to quickly understand why two builds of the same
|
|
package produce different outputs. diffoscope was previously named
|
|
debbindiff.
