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.

22 The output from this command will be one human-readable line per dif‐
23 ference found in the ISOs.

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).
