-d/--diff

• 0
• N
• N,M
• <INPUT_PATH>
• <INPUT_PATH_A>,<INPUT_PATH_B>

Select the two reports that you want to compare.

• 0: generates a report and compares it with the previous report.
• N: generates a new report and compares it with historical report <N>.
• N,M: compares historical report <N> with historical report <M>.
• <INPUT_PATH>: generates a new report and compares it with the specified report.
• <INPUT_PATH_A>,<INPUT_PATH_B>: compares reports <A> and <B>.

--diff_x86

• <X86_PATH>
