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 be-
     tween 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.
