cmp(1)                           DG/UX 5.4.2                          cmp(1)


NAME
       cmp - compare two files

SYNOPSIS
       cmp [ -l ] [ -s ] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
       The two files are compared.  (If file1 is -, the standard input is
       used.)  Under default options, cmp makes no comment if the files are
       the same; if they differ, it announces the byte and line number at
       which the difference occurred.  If one file is an initial subsequence
       of the other, that fact is noted.

   Options
        -l    Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing bytes
              (octal) for each difference.

        -s    Print nothing for differing files; return codes only.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit code 0 is returned for identical files, 1 for different files,
       and 2 for an inaccessible or missing argument.
