Description:

def diff(*args, **kwargs):
    '''
    Return the DIFFERENCE of the result sets returned by each matching minion
    pool

    .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

    These pools are determined from the aggregated and sorted results of
    a salt command.

    This command displays the "diffs" as a series of 2-way differences --
    namely the difference between the FIRST displayed minion pool
    (according to sort order) and EACH SUBSEQUENT minion pool result set.

    Differences are displayed according to the Python ``difflib.unified_diff()``
    as in the case of the salt execution module ``file.get_diff``.

    This command is submitted via a salt runner using the general form::

        salt-run survey.diff [survey_sort=up/down] <target>
                     <salt-execution-module> <salt-execution-module parameters>

    Optionally accept a ``survey_sort=`` parameter. Default:
    ``survey_sort=down``

    CLI Example #1: (Example to display the "differences of files")

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt-run survey.diff survey_sort=up "*" cp.get_file_str file:///etc/hosts
    '''
    # TODO: The salt execution module "cp.get_file_str file:///..." is a
    # non-obvious way to display the differences between files using
    # survey.diff .  A more obvious method needs to be found or developed.
