restic diff [flags] snapshot-ID snapshot-ID

The "diff" command shows differences from the first to the second snapshot. The first characters in each line display what has happened to a particular file or directory:

• +  The item was added
• -  The item was removed
• U  The metadata (access mode, timestamps, ...) for the item was updated
• M  The file's content was modified
• T  The type was changed, e.g. a file was made a symlink

Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
