🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. oggz-diff is a sh script, right? it uses oggz-dump to generate hexadecimal packet dumps of each input file, and then it outputs the difference between those dumps using diff. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

oggz-diff forwards a subset of options accepted by oggz-dump and diff. if you want the full lore, go read oggz-dump(1) and diff(1) — they spill all the details. 🫶

🎀 oggz-dump format options

• -b, --binary — generate a binary dump of each packet ✨
• -x, --hexadeciaml — generate a hexadecimal dump of each packet

not me noticing the option in the manpage is literally spelled --hexadeciaml, and yes, we are keeping it exactly like that, periodt 💀

🔥 oggz-dump filtering options

• -c content-type, --content-type content-type — dump only the logical bitstreams for a specific content-type. run oggz-known-codecs(1) to get the full list of codecs known by the installed version of oggz. iykyk 🌈
• -s serialno, --serialno serialno — dump only the logical bitstream with the specified serialno.
• -O, --hide-offset — hide the byte offset field of the preamble for each packet dumped. this is particularly useful when you're comparing Ogg bitstreams that differ only in page structure. iconic for that exact situation 🎀
• -S, --hide-serialno — hide the serialno field of the preamble for each packet dumped. particularly useful when comparing Ogg bitstreams that differ only in serialno assignment. slay ✨
• -G, --hide-granulepos — hide the granulepos field of the preamble for each packet dumped.
• -P, --hide-packetno — hide the packetno field of the preamble for each packet dumped.

💜 diff options

heads up bestie: the -w (--ignore-all-space) option to diff is always implied. it's just built in, no takebacks 💅

• -q, --brief — output only whether files differ.
• -C NUM, --context[=NUM] — output NUM lines of copied context.
• -u, -U NUM, --unified[=NUM] — output NUM (default 3) lines of unified context.
• -e, --ed — output an ed script.
• --normal — output a normal diff.
• --rcs — output an RCS format diff.
• -y, --side-by-side — output in two columns.
• -l, --paginate — pass the output through pr to paginate it.

🧚 Miscellaneous options

• --verbose — display verbose messages. tell me everything fr fr 😭
• -v, --version — display version information and exit.
• -h, --help — display usage information and exit.
