DIRCMP(1)                            SysV                            DIRCMP(1)



NAME
     dircmp - directory comparison

SYNOPSIS
     dircmp [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -wn ] dir1 dir2

DESCRIPTION
     dircmp examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabulated information
     about the contents of the directories.  It generates lists of files that
     are unique to each directory for all the options.  If no option is
     entered, a list is output indicating whether the file names common to
     both directories have the same contents.

OPTIONS
     -d        Compares the contents of files with the same name in both
               directories and outputs a list telling what must be changed in
               the two files to bring them into agreement.  The list format is
               described in diff(1).

     -s        Suppresses messages about identical files.

     -wn       Changes the width of the output line to n characters.  The
               default width is 72.
