I need to compare two binary files and get output in form
for every different byte. So if file1.bin is
00 90 00 11
in binary form
and file2.bin is
00 91 00 10
I want to get something like
00000001 90 91
00000003 11 10
what is the easiest way to accomplish the goal? Standard tool? Some 3rd party tool?
inb4: cmp -l should be killed with fire,it uses decimal system for offsets and octal for bytes. "Consistency for losers" must be cmp's motto.
