|

|

.Nd compare two files
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
.Op Fl l | Fl s
|
||||
.Ar file1 file2
|
||||
.Op Ar skip1 Op Ar skip2
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The cmp utility compares two files of any type and writes the results
|
||||
to the standard output.
|
||||
By default,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is silent if the files are the same; if they differ, the byte
|
||||
and line number at which the first difference occurred is reported.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Bytes and lines are numbered beginning with one.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The following options are available:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
||||
.It Fl l
|
||||
Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing
|
||||
byte values (octal) for each difference.
|
||||
.It Fl s
|
||||
Print nothing for differing files; return exit
|
||||
status only.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The optional arguments
|
||||
.Ar skip1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ar skip2
|
||||
are the byte offsets from the beginning of
|
||||
.Ar file1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ar file2 ,
|
||||
respectively, where the comparison will begin.
|
||||
The offset is decimal by default, but may be expressed as an hexadecimal
|
||||
or octal value by preceding it with a leading ``0x'' or ``0''.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility exits with one of the following values:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
||||
.It 0
|
||||
The files are identical.
|
||||
.It 1
|
||||
The files are different; this includes the case
|
||||
where one file is identical to the first part of
|
||||
the other.
|
||||
In the latter case, if the
|
||||
.Fl s
|
||||
option has not been specified,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
writes to standard output that EOF was reached in the shorter
|
||||
file (before any differences were found).
|
||||
.It \*[Gt]1
|
||||
An error occurred.
|
||||

.Xr diff3 1
|
||||
.Sh STANDARDS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility is expected to be
|
||||
.St -p1003.2
|
||||
compatible.
