SNAPSHOT-COMPARE(1C)                                      SNAPSHOT-COMPARE(1C)


NAME

       snapshot-compare - compare two snapshots of a directory tree


SYNOPSIS

       snapshot-compare <snapshot-1> <snapshot-2> [:strip=N] [:strip1=N]
       [:strip2=N]


DESCRIPTION

       snapshot-compare

       will load the two directory snapshot databases, strip a number of
       slashes from the pathnames of the files in the databases, then generate
       a report describing files which are in one snapshot but not the other,
       and also what files which have different MD5 checksums between
       snapshots.

       The following example shows that the file foo.bar is contained
       exclusively in the x.after snapshot, and the snapshot-compare.1 file is
       different between snapshots.

       bosa00> ./snapshot-compare x.before x.after
       ; loading x.before
       ; done 227 files
       ; loading x.after
       ; done 229 files
       ; x.after /moby/src/kit/foo.bar
       diff /moby/src/kit/snapshot-compare.1

       The effect of the strip parameter is demonstrated in this example:

       bosa00> ./snapshot-compare x.before x.after :strip=3
       ; loading x.before
       ; done 227 files
       ; loading x.after
       ; done 229 files
       ; strip 3 levels of / from x.before
       ; strip 3 levels of / from x.after
       ; x.after kit/foo.bar
       diff kit/snapshot-compare.1


EXIT STATUS

       Errors result in a non-zero exit status.
