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. AUTHOR
