SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
