.Sh NAME
.Nm ctfdiff
.Nd compare two CTF containers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm ctfdiff
.Op Fl afIloqt
.Op Fl F Ar function
.Op Fl O Ar object
.Op Fl p Ar parent1
.Op Fl p Ar parent2
.Op Fl T Ar type
.Ar file1 file2
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility identifies differences between the contents of the
.Sy CTF
containers found in
.Em file1
and
.Em file2 .
.Lp
.Nm
can find differences between two
.Sy CTF
container's
.Sy labels ,
.Sy functions ,
.Sy objects ,
and
.Sy types .
When no options are specified,
.Nm
will only consider
.Sy functions ,
.Sy objects,
and
.Sy types .
.Lp
Two
.Sy labels
are the same if they have the same name.
Two
.Sy objects
are the same if they have the same name and the type of the
object is the same.
Two
.Sy functions
are considered the same if they have the same name, the same return
type, the same number of arguments, and the types of their arguments are
the same.
.Lp
Two
.Sy types
are considered the same if they have the same name, they represent the same
kind of thing, and the contents of the type are the same.
This varies for each specific kind, for example, two structs are the
same if they have the same members whose types, offsets, and names are
all the same.
For more information on the specifics for what we look at
for each kind of type, and the kinds themselves, see the information we
use to encode them in
.Xr ctf 4 .
If the option
.Fl I
is specified, then the names of basic integer types are ignored.
For an example of where this makes sense, see
.Sy Example 4 .
.Lp
If the
.Sy CTF
container found inside of either
.Em file1
or
.Em file2
has been uniquified (see
.Xr ctf 4
for more on uniquification), then the parent
.Sy CTF
container is also required for the diff to complete.
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
.Bl -hang -width Ds
.It Fl a
.Bd -filled -compact
Diff
.Sy labels ,
.Sy types ,
.Sy objects ,
and
.Sy functions .
.Ed
.It Fl f
.Bd -filled -compact
Diff
.Sy function
type argument information.
.Ed
.It Fl F Ar function
.Bd -filled -compact
When diffing
.Sy functions ,
only consider the function
.Em function .
This option requires that the option
.Fl f
be specified and can be repeated multiple times.
.Ed
.It Fl I
.Bd -filled -compact
Ignore the names of integral types.
This option is useful when comparing types between two
.Sy CTF
containers that have different programming models.
In this case, when comparing integers, the name of the type is not
considered.
This means that the ILP32 type long which is a 32-bit wide signed
integer is the same as the LP64 type int which is a 32-bit wide signed
integer, even though they have different names.
.Ed
.It Fl l
.Bd -filled -compact
Diff the
.Sy labels
contained inside the
.Sy CTF
containers.
.Ed
.It Fl o
.Bd -filled -compact
Diff type information for
.Sy objects .
.Ed
.It Fl O Ar object
.Bd -filled -compact
When diffing type information for
.Sy objects ,
only compare if the object is name
.Em object .
This option requires
.Fl o
to be specified and can be repeated multiple times.
.Ed
.It Fl p Ar parent1
.Bd -filled -compact
Specifies the path of file that is the parent of the
.Sy CTF
container inside of
.Em file1
is
.Em parent1 .
This option is required if
.Em file1
has been uniquified.
For more information on uniquification, see
.Xr ctf 4 .
.Ed
.It Fl P Ar parent2
.Bd -filled -compact
Specifies the path of file that is the parent of the
.Sy CTF
container inside of
.Em file2 is
.Em parent2 .
This option is required if
.Em file1
has been uniquified.
For more information on uniquification, see
.Xr ctf 4 .
.Ed
.It Fl q
.Bd -filled -compact
Enables quiet mode.
Standard output from the diff will not be emitted.
However, diagnostics messages will still be emitted to standard error.
.Ed
.It Fl t
.Bd -filled -compact
Diff the
.Sy type
information sections in the
.Sy CTF
containers.
.Ed
.It Fl T Ar type
.Bd -filled -compact
When diffing the
.Sy types
section, only consider it if the type is name
.Em type .
Types specified here do not impact the diffing of
.Sy objects
or
.Sy functions .
Even with
.Fl T
specified, other types will be diffed as necessary for the evaluation of
the named types; however, the results of those intermediate differences
will not impact the results of
.Nm ,
only named types are considered when evaluating the exit status of
.Nm .
.Ed
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Bl -inset

.Bd -filled -offset indent -compact
Execution completed successfully, no differences were detected
between
.Em file1
and
.Em file2 .
.Ed
.It Sy 1
.Bd -filled -offset indent -compact
Execution completed successfully, but differences were detected
between
.Em file1
and
.Em file2 .

.D1 A fatal error occurred.

This example looks for differences between structures used in an ioctl
that the kernel wants to be bitness neutral by comparing a 32-bit and
64-bit library that consumes it.
In this example, we'll use the library
.Sy libvnd.so.1
and the types
.Sy vnd_ioc_attach_t ,
.Sy vnd_ioc_link_t ,
.Sy vnd_ioc_unlink_t ,
.Sy vnd_ioc_buf_t ,
