     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.
          Listings of files that are unique to each directory are
          generated for all the flag options.  If no flag option is
          entered, a list is output indicating whether the filenames
          common to both directories have the same contents.

          -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).

          -s  Suppress messages about identical files.

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