type Diff = Maybe FilePath -> String -> IO (Maybe String)Source

The type of a function comparing the content of a file against a string, similar to the unix tool diff. The first parameter is the name of the file containing the expected output. If this parameter is Nothing, then no output is expected. The second parameter is the actual output produced. If the result is Nothing then no difference was found. Otherwise, a Just value contains a string explaining the different.
