dircmp − directory comparison

SYNOPSIS

dircmp [ −d ] [ −l pagelength ] [ −s ] [ −t ] dir1 dir2

DESCRIPTION

Dircmp examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabulated information about the contents of the directories. Listings of files which are unique to each directory are generated for all the options.  If no option is entered, a list is output indicating whether the filenames common to both directories have the same contents. The output is passed through pr(1) for pagination. 

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

−l pagelength This option is pased to pr.  It sets the page length.  The default page length is 66 lines. 

−s Suppress messages about identical files. 

−t Compare text files only, as determined by file(1).
