MINCDIFF(1)							 MINC User's Guide						       MINCDIFF(1)

NAME

       mincdiff - report differences between minc files

SYNOPSIS

       mincdiff [-header|-body] [-l] [diff options] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION

       The  mincdiff  shell  script compares two minc files by running diff(1) on the headers of the two minc files, and cmp(1) on the image vari-
       able.  You can view only the header differences using -header or only the body (image variable) differences using -body.  The option -l	is
       passed on to cmp of the image variable.	Any unrecognized options (e.g. -u) are passed verbatim to the diff of the headers.

OPTIONS

       -header Compare only the headers of the two files.

       -body Compare only the image data of the two files.

       -l Print the byte offset in decimal and the byte value in octal
	      for each difference encountered in the image variable.
