utility to compare 2 hashdeep checksum files that are generated against 2 presumably matching directory sources, and finds the differences.
a use case is if you ran hashdeep against a directory at different times, and possibly expect some level of corruption, you can use this to detect changes.
this tool was mostly written by Github Copilot.
use at your own risk. shall you experience any adverse consequences, direct any grievances and consultation requests to ChatGPT
enter the development environment with nix develop if you have flakes enabled, or nix shell. Then look for the compare alias for usage syntax. It takes a base_file and comp_file, which should be outputs of a hashdeep command.
