siconos_compare - Numerically compare the contents of two Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation files.

usage: siconos_compare [-h] [--columns <colspec>] [--start <time>]

[--end <time>] [--interval <time>]
[--threshold <float>] [-V] <file> <file>

Description: Numerically compare the contents of two Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation files. Sole output on standard output shall be the maximum difference between the columns selected for comparison. Return code 0 will be returned if maximum difference is less than the threshold, otherwise 1 will be returned if greater, or 2 if the files could not be opened or do not contain the necessary tables. Non-matching time indices shall be considered as failing the comparison.
