Package: diffoscope Version: 78 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It would be handy if diffoscope used the same exit codes as diff to indicate the similarity (or otherwise) of files. diff(1) says: Exit status is 0 if inputs are the same, 1 if different, 2 if trouble. which makes it very easy to programmatically detect if two files are the same or if diffoscope otherwise exited. (diff's exit 2 includes "no such file or directory" errors) cheers Stuart
