# Diff two streams.
#
# Unlike regular diff, this script does not read in the entire input
# before doing a diff, so it can be used on lengthy outputs piped from
# other programs (e.g., M5 traces).  The best way to do this is to
# take advantage of the power of Perl's open function, which will
# automatically fork a subprocess if the last character in the
# "filename" is a pipe (|).  Thus to compare the instruction traces
# from two versions of m5 (m5a and m5b), you can do this:
#
# rundiff 'm5a --traceflags=InstExec |' 'm5b --traceflags=InstExec |'
#
