# Lintian::Processable::Diffstat(3)

access to collected diffstat data

## NAME

Lintian::Processable::Diffstat - access to collected diffstat data

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Lintian::Processable;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Lintian::Processable::Diffstat provides an interface to diffstat data.

## INSTANCE METHODS

- diffstat

  Returns the path to diffstat output run on the Debian packaging diff (a.k.a. the "diff.gz") for 1.0 non-native packages.  For source packages without a "diff.gz" component, this returns the path to an empty file (this may be a device like /dev/null).
