.SH SYNOPSIS

The "diff" command shows differences from the first to the second snapshot. The
first characters in each line display what has happened to a particular file or
directory:
.RS
.IP \(bu 2
+ The item was added
.IP \(bu 2
- The item was removed
.IP \(bu 2
U The metadata (access mode, timestamps, ...) for the item was updated
.IP \(bu 2
M The file's content was modified
.IP \(bu 2
T The type was changed, e.g. a file was made a symlink
.RE
.PP
To only compare files in specific subfolders, you can use the
":" syntax, where "subfolder" is a path within the
snapshot.
