diffoscope is a tool that provides a detailed comparison of files, archives, and directories, digging deep into what sets them apart. It can unpack various types of archives and convert binary formats into human-readable forms for comparison. Surprisingly, it supports a wide range of file formats, from Android APK to ZIP archives, making it versatile for various uses. The tool offers command-line interface, text and HTML output, and fallback on hexdump comparison. It also allows fuzzy matching to handle renamings. Developed within the “Reproducible builds” effort, diffoscope is licensed under the GNU General Public License and welcomes contributions for supporting new formats.
