User Commands						 pkgdiff(1)

NAME
     pkgdiff - compare pkg manifests

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/pkgdiff [-i attribute] [-o attribute] ...	 file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
     pkgdiff compares two package manifests and reports on differences.
     pkgdiff sorts each manifest & action into a consistent order before
     comparison.

     Output is of the form:

     + <complete action> if this action is in file2 but not in file1
     - <complete action> if this action is in file1 but not in file2

     actionname keyvalue <variant values, if any>
       - attribute1=value1	   if this attribute,value is in file1
				   but not in file2
       + attribute2=value2	   if this attribute,value is in file2
				   but not in file1

     Note that actions with different variants but the same type and key
     attribute value are treated as separate actions for purposes of
     comparison, so actions changing attributes will appear in their
     complete form rather than as attribute changes.

OPTIONS

     -i attribute    Ignore this attribute if present during comparisons
		     File hash values may be ignored with -i hash.  May
		     not be used with -o option.

     -o attribute    Only report differences in this attribute.	  May
		     not be used with -i option.  Will elide any action
		     changes that don't affect this attribute on an action.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0	   No differences were found

     1	   Differences were found

     >1	   An error occurred
