SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       This is a tool to fuzzily compare the contents of two ISOs, looking for
15       differences between them.  This is most often  useful  when  trying  to
16       find  what changed between two ISOs, as vastly different ISOs will have
17       vastly different layouts.  Because of the nature of the  ISO9660  stan‐
18       dard,  even  two  very  similar  ISOs  may have significantly different
19       structure; if that is the case, use the command-line  options  to  help
20       control this behavior.
21
22       The  output  from this command will be one human-readable line per dif‐
23       ference found in the ISOs.

OPTIONS

27       -d     Ignore differences in dates  while  comparing.   This  can  help
28              reduce differences when comparing two ISOs that are similar, but
29              one of which has recently been remastered (and thus all  of  the
30              dates are newer).
