Description: diffoscope
        ==========
        
        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: <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>
        It is meant to be able to quickly understand why two builds of the same
        package produce different outputs. diffoscope was previously named
        debbindiff.
        
        Example
        -------
        
            $ bin/diffoscope.py --html output.html build1.changes build2.changes
        
        This will compare `build1.changes` and `build2.changes` and create
        `output.html` if there are differences between the two files.
        
        External dependencies
        ---------------------
        
        Required Python modules:
        
         * Available on PyPI: libarchive-c, python-debian.
         * Magic-file-extension is built from file:
           http://www.darwinsys.com/file/
           Available on Debian and Fedora as python-magic.
         * rpm-python is built from rpm:

        The various comparators rely on external commands being available. To
        get a list of them, please run:
        
            $ bin/diffoscope.py --list-tools
