<!-- Generated with Stardoc: http://skydoc.bazel.build -->
A test rule that compares two binary files or two directories.
Similar to `bazel-skylib`'s [`diff_test`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/blob/main/rules/diff_test.bzl)
but also supports comparing directories.
The rule uses a Bash command (diff) on Linux/macOS/non-Windows, and a cmd.exe
command (fc.exe) on Windows (no Bash is required).

## diff_test

diff_test(<a href="#diff_test-name">name</a>, <a href="#diff_test-file1">file1</a>, <a href="#diff_test-file2">file2</a>, <a href="#diff_test-size">size</a>, <a href="#diff_test-timeout">timeout</a>, <a href="#diff_test-kwargs">kwargs</a>)
</pre>
A test that compares two files.
The test succeeds if the files' contents match.
