       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 options.  If no option is entered, a list is output
             indicating whether the file names common to both directories
             have the same contents.  dircmp processes supplementary code
             set characters in directory and file names according to the
             locale specified in the LC_CTYPE environment variable [see
             LANG on environ(5)].

             -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 columns.  The
                   default width is 72.

       FILES
             /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/uxdfm
                   language-specific message file [see LANG on environ(5)].
