In contrast to doing a direct diff of the +images, this actually parses the filesystems and generates a more +meaningful difference report. +.PP +If only contents are compared, any differences in packed file layout, +ordering, compression, inode meta data and so on is ignored and the two +images are considered equal if each directory contains the same entries, +symlink with the same paths have the same targets, device nodes the same +device number and files the same size and contents. +.PP +A report of any difference is printed to stdout. The exit status is similar +that of diff(1): 0 means equal, 1 means different, 2 means problem. +.PP +Possible options: +.TP +\fB\-\-old\fR, \fB\-a\fR <first> +Specify the first filesystem image or source directory, relativ to which the +changes are evaluated. +.TP +\fB\-\-new\fR, \fB\-b\fR <second> +Specify the second filesystem image to source directory to compare to the +first one. +.TP +\fB\-\-no\-contents\fR, \fB\-C\fR +Do not compare file contents. +.TP +\fB\-\-no\-owner\fR, \fB\-O\fR +Do not compare file owners. +.TP +\fB\-\-no\-permissions\fR, \fB\-P\fR +Do not compare permission bits. +.TP +\fB\-\-timestamps\fR, \fB\-T\fR +Compare file timestamps. +.TP +\fB\-\-inode\-num\fR, \fB\-I\fR +Compare inode numbers of all files. +.TP +\fB\-\-super\fR, \fB\-S\fR +Also compare meta data in super blocks. +.TP +\fB\-\-extract\fR, \fB\-e\fR <path> +Extract files that exist in both images but have different contents to the +specified directory.
