Description-en: in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories (minimal package)
diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
what makes files or directories actually different.
.
It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
.
File formats supported include: Android APK files, Android boot images, Apple
Xcode mobile provisioning files, ar(1) archives, ASM Function, 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

JSON files, LLVM IR bitcode files, LZ4 compressed files, MacOS binaries,
Microsoft Windows icon files, Microsoft Word .docx files, Mono 'Portable
Executable' files, Mozilla-optimized .ZIP archives, Multimedia metadata, OCaml
interface files, Ogg Vorbis audio files, OpenOffice .odt files, OpenSSH public
keys, OpenWRT package archives (.ipk), PDF documents, PE32 files, PGP
