Command line flags

SDKDiff

SDKDiff can be invoked with one or two paths. The second path, defaults to the current directory. If both paths are (or are defaulted to) directories then it compares the whole directories. If one path is a file then it compares that file with a file of the same name in the other directory. If both paths are files then it compares the two files. The most common cases are as follows.

To compare a file in another directory with a file of the same name in this directory enter

SDKDiff path_to_other_file

To compare another whole directory with the current directory enter

SDKDiff path_to_other_directory

To compare two directories (including subdirectories) enter

SDKDiff path_to_first_directory path_to_second_directory

To compare two files
