+  description: >
+    diffoscope will try to get to the bottom of what makes files or
+    directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many kinds
+    and transform various binary formats into more human readable form to
+    compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF just as
+    easily.
