The \fBcmp\fR utility compares two files. \fBcmp\fR writes no output if the ! files are the same. Under default options, if they differ, it writes to ! standard output the byte and line numbers at which the first difference ! occurred. Bytes and lines are numbered beginning with 1. If one file is an ! initial subsequence of the other, that fact is noted. \fIskip1\fR and ! \fIskip2\fR are initial byte offsets into \fIfile1\fR and \fIfile2\fR ! respectively, and can be either octal or decimal. A leading 0 denotes octal. ! .SH OPTIONS ! .sp ! .LP The following options are supported: ! .sp ! .ne 2 ! .na ! \fB\fB-l\fR\fR ! .ad ! .RS 6n Write the byte number (decimal) and the differing bytes (octal) for each difference. ! .RE ! ! .sp ! .ne 2 ! .na ! \fB\fB-s\fR\fR ! .ad ! .RS 6n ! Write nothing for differing files. Return exit status only. ! .RE ! ! .SH OPERANDS ! .sp ! .LP The following operands are supported: ! .sp ! .ne 2 ! .na ! \fB\fIfile1\fR\fR ! .ad ! .RS 9n ! A path name of the first file to be compared. If \fIfile1\fR is \fB\(mi\fR, the ! standard input is used. ! .RE ! ! .sp ! .ne 2 ! .na ! \fB\fIfile2\fR\fR ! .ad ! .RS 9n ! A path name of the second file to be compared. If \fIfile2\fR is \fB\(mi\fR, the standard input is used. ! .RE ! ! .sp ! .LP ! If both \fIfile1\fR and \fIfile2\fR refer to standard input or refer to the ! same \fBFIFO\fR special, block special or character special file, an error ! results. ! .SH USAGE ! .sp ! .LP ! See \fBlargefile\fR(5) for the description of the behavior of \fBcmp\fR when ! encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2^31 bytes). ! .SH EXAMPLES ! .LP ! \fBExample 1 \fRComparing Files Byte for Byte ! .sp ! .LP !

It skips the first 1024 bytes in \fIfile2\fR before starting the comparison. ! ! .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ! .sp ! .LP !

The ! .Nm ! utility compares two files. ! .Nm ! writes no output if the files are the same. ! Under default options, if they differ, it writes to standard output the byte ! and line numbers at which the first difference occurred. ! Bytes and lines are numbered beginning with 1. ! .Ar skip1 ! and ! .Ar skip2 ! are initial byte offsets into ! .Ar file1 ! and ! .Ar file2 ! respectively, and are specified in bytes or can be given with a suffix of ! .Cm k ! for kilobytes or ! .Cm m ! for megabytes. ! .Lp ! If either ! .Ar file1 ! or ! .Ar file2 ! is a dash ! .Pq Ar \(mi , ! .Nm ! uses standard input starting at the current location. ! .Sh OPTIONS The following options are supported: ! .Bl -tag -width Ar ! .It Fl b Ns \&, Fl \-print-bytes ! Print differing bytes as 3-digit octal values. ! .It Fl c Ns \&, Fl \-print-chars ! Print differing bytes as follows: ! .Bl -bullet -width Ds ! .It ! non-space printable characters as themselves; ! .It ! space and control characters as ! .Em ^ ! followed by a letter of the alphabet; ! .It ! characters with the high bit set as the lower 7-bit character prefixed by ! .Em M^ ! for 7-bit space and non-printable characters, and ! .Em M- ! for all other characters. ! If the 7-bit character encoding is not ASCII then the characters are converted ! to ASCII to determine whether the high bit is set and, if set, it is cleared ! and converted back to the native encoding. ! Multibyte characters in the current locale are treated as printable characters. ! .El ! .It Fl d Ar differences Ns \&, Fl \-differences Ns = Ns Ar differences ! Print at most ! .Ar differences ! differences using ! .Fl l ! .Pq Fl -verbose ! output format. ! If ! .Ar differences ! is ! .Cm 0 ! then this is equivalent to passing the ! .Fl s ! or ! .Fl \-silent ! option. ! .It Fl i Ar skip1 Ns Op : Ns Ar skip2 Ns \&, Fl -skip Ns = Ns Ar skip1 Ns Op : Ns Ar skip2 Ns \&, Fl -ignore-initial Ns = Ns Ar skip1 Ns Op : Ns Ar skip2 ! Skip the first ! .Ar skip1 ! bytes in ! .Ar file1 ! and the first ! .Ar skip2 ! bytes in ! .Ar file2 . ! If ! .Ar skip2 ! is omitted then ! .Ar skip1 ! is used for that value. ! The default value is ! .Ar 0:0 . ! .It Fl l Ns \&, Fl \-verbose Write the byte number (decimal) and the differing bytes (octal) for each difference. ! .It Fl n Ar count Ns \&, Fl \-count Ns = Ns Ar count Ns \&, Fl \-bytes Ns = Ns Ar count ! Compare at most ! .Ar count ! bytes. ! .It Fl s Ns \&, Fl \-silent \&, Fl \-quiet ! Write nothing for differing files. ! Return exit status only. ! .El ! .Sh OPERANDS The following operands are supported: ! .Bl -tag -width Ar ! .It Ar file1 ! A path name of the first file to be compared. ! If ! .Ar file1 ! is ! .Ar \(mi , the standard input is used. ! .It Ar file2 ! A path name of the second file to be compared. ! If ! .Ar file2 ! is ! .Ar \(mi , ! the standard input is used. ! .It Ar skip1 ! The number of initial bytes from ! .Ar file1 ! to skip before beginning the comparison. ! .It Ar skip2 ! The number of initial bytes from ! .Ar file2 ! to skip before beginning the comparison. ! If ! .Ar skip1 ! is specified but ! .Ar skip2 ! is not, then the value of ! .Ar skip1 ! is also implicitly used for ! .Ar skip2 . ! .El ! .Pp ! If both ! .Ar file1 ! and ! .Ar file2 ! refer to standard input or refer to the same FIFO, block or character special ! file, an error results. ! .Pp ! .Ar skip ! values are specified in bytes, or can be suffixed with ! .Cm k ! .Pq for kilobytes ! or ! .Cm m ! .Pq for megabytes. ! .Sh EXIT STATUS ! The following exit values are returned: ! .Bl -tag -width Ds ! .It Sy 0 ! The files or portions compared are identical. ! .It Sy 1 ! The files or portions compared are different. ! .It Sy >1 ! An error ocurred. ! .El ! .Sh EXAMPLES ! .Bl -tag -width Ds ! .It Sy Example 1 No Comparing Files Byte for Byte !
