 Name

    dircmp - compare directories

 Syntax

    dircmp [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -wn ] dir1 dir2

 Description

    The dircmp command examines dir1 and dir2 and generates tabulated infor-
    mation about the contents of the directories. Listings of files that are
    unique to each directory are generated in addition to a list that indi-
    cates whether the files common to both directories have the same con-
    tents.

    There are three options available:

    -d      Performs a full diff on each pair of like-named files if the con-
            tents of the files are not identical.

    -s      Suppresses output of identical filenames.

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