NAME
grib_compare - Compares the grib messages contained in two files.
DESCRIPTION
Compares the grib messages contained in two files one by one in the
same order. If some differences are found it fails returning an error
code. All the keys are compared except those listed with the -b option
and those that are specific of a different grib edition. Also data
values are compared and are considered as different if their maximum
absolute difference is greater than the absolute error, that by default
is 0.000001. The value used by the absolute error can be set with te
-e option.
USAGE
