A tool to compare two mmcif files

The mmCIF format does not specify the order in which categories or fields should be recorded. Using this tool, you can reorder a second file in the same way as the first before comparing the content making it easier to spot differences.

Options

--category=arg

Limit the comparison to this category, default is to show differences in all categories. This option can be specified multiple times.

--max-diff-count=nr

Display at most nr items per category. Default is 5 items, if you specify zero the number of items will unlimited.

This option has no effect when the --text option is specified.

--text

Default is to display the differences in some kind of summary. But if you prefer to use a more graphical diff: this option will use vimdiff to display the differences.

--icase

Pass the ignore case option to vimdiff.

--iwhite

Pass the ignore white option to vimdiff.

Be more verbose, useful to diagnose validation errors.
