By default, strict equality is used. Use -p or -d to set specific tolerance. + --exclude-path "path" Exclude the specified path to an object when + comparing files or groups. If a group is excluded, + all member objects will also be excluded. + The specified path is excluded wherever it occurs. + This flexibility enables the same option to exclude + either objects that exist only in one file or + common objects that are known to differ. + + When comparing files, "path" is the absolute path to + the excluded object; when comparing groups, "path" is + similar to the relative path from the group to the + excluded object. This "path" can be taken from the + first section of the output of the --verbose option. + For example, if you are comparing the group /groupA + in two files and you want to exclude + /groupA/groupB/groupC in both files, the exclude + option would read as follows: + --exclude-path "/groupB/groupC" + + If there are multiple paths to an object, only the + specified path(s) will be excluded; the comparison + will include any path not explicitly excluded. + This option can be used repeatedly to exclude + multiple paths.
