NAME
       usddiff - manual page for usddiff 26.08

DESCRIPTION
       usage: usddiff [-h] [-n] [-f] [-q] files [files ...]

       Compares two usd-readable files using a selected diff program. This is
       chosen by looking at the $USD_DIFF environment variable. If this is
       unset, it will consult the $DIFF environment variable. Lastly, if
       neither of these is set, it will try to use the canonical unix program,
       diff. This will relay the exit code of the selected diff program.When
       comparing two usdz files, each file contained in the package will be
       examined individually. The $USD_IMAGE_DIFF environment variable
       specifies a specific diff program for comparing image files. The
       $USD_IMAGE_DIFF_FORMATS environment variable specifies supported image
       formats using a "," separated list of file extensions.

   positional arguments:
       files  The files to compare. These must be of the form DIR DIR, FILE...
              DIR, DIR FILE... or FILE FILE.

   options:

       -n, --noeffect

       -f, --flatten

              layers.

       -q, --brief
              Do not return full results of diffs. Passes --brief to the diff
              command.
