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 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.
