in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories

 diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
 what makes files or directories actually different.
 .
 It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
 formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
 It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
 differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
