SYNOPSIS
tardiff [options] file1.tar file2.tar[.gz/.bz2]
OPTIONS -m, --modified Report on all changed files, including those present in both tarballs
-l, --list List all files, even those not changed at all
-a, --autoskip Skip files which belong to the GNU autotools (for --modified)
-s, --stats Run statistics (diffstat) on all modified files (for --modified)
