Description-en: in-depth comparison of files, archives, and directories
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. The differences can
be shown in a text or HTML report.
.
File formats supported include: Android APK files, Android boot images, Apple
Xcode mobile provisioning files, ar(1) archives, Berkeley DB database files,
bzip2 archives, character/block devices, ColorSync colour profiles (.icc),
Coreboot CBFS filesystem images, cpio archives, Dalvik .dex files, Debian
buildinfo files, Debian .changes files, Debian source packages (.dsc), Device
