Doh! I've no idea how I missed these...

--exit-code
  Make the program exit with codes similar to diff(1). That is, it
  exits with 1 if there were differences and 0 means no differences.

--quiet
  Disable all output of the program. Implies --exit-code.

Thanks for walking me through it.

Regards.
