I diffed two .root files which contain the same numerical values stored in a tree but which were made on different days and I am very confused about why they are different. Does anyone have any idea why the diff would say that the binary files are different? When I do cmp, I find that the first difference occurs for char 48.
Here is the head of what hexdump gives for the first file:
0000000 6f72 746f 0000 e2cd 0000 6400 880d 15e0
0000010 880d a7df 0000 6e00 0000 0100 0000 a800
