dircmp - directory comparison

SYNOPSIS

dircmp [-ds] [-w width] directory directory

The dircmp command creates a list of files which are identical, different, or exist in only one of the two directories given.

With the -d option, differing files are compared using diff(1), and its output is included.

The -s option suppresses messages about identical files.

Output is paginated through pr(1). The -w option specifies a maximum width for the formatted output.

dircmp ignores files whose names contain backslash or newline characters.
