DISKCMP(1x)           UNIX System V(Xenix Compatibility)            DISKCMP(1x)


NAME
      diskcmp  -  compare diskette images

SYNOPSIS
      diskcmp [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -48ds9 ] [ -96ds9 ] [ -96ds15 ] [ -135ds9 ] [
      -135ds18 ]

DESCRIPTION
      The diskcmp command is used to compare the contents of one diskette with
      another.  The cmp(1) command is used to make the comparison of the images
      read from each diskette.  On machines with one floppy disk drive, an
      image of the first diskette is temporarily saved on the hard disk.  Then,
      after the second diskette is inserted in the drive, its image is compared
      with the saved image of the first diskette.  Only one exchange of the
      diskettes is required.

      On systems with two floppy drives of the same type, the first diskette
      can be compared directly to the second diskette with no swapping of
      diskettes required.

      The options are:

      -d    The system has dual floppy drives, and both should used.

      -s    Use the checksum program sum(1) to compare the contents of the
            diskettes; give an error if they don't match.

      -48ds9
            This is the setting for low density 48tpi 5.25 inch floppies (360
            KB).  It is the default setting.

      -96ds9
            This is the setting for high density 96tpi 5.25 inch floppies (720
            KB).

      -96ds15
            This is the setting for quad density 96tpi 5.25 inch floppies (1.2
            MB).

      -135ds9
            This is the setting for high density 135tpi 3.5 inch floppies (720
            KB).

      -135ds18
            This is the setting for quad density 135tpi 3.5 inch floppies (1.44
            MB).
