-i SKIP --ignore-initial=SKIP

-l--verbose
Output byte numbers and values of all differing bytes.
-n LIMIT --bytes=LIMIT
Compare at most LIMIT bytes.
-s--quiet--silent
Output nothing; yield exit status only.
-v--version

--help Output this help.
SKIP1 and SKIP2 are the number of bytes to skip in each file. SKIP values may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: kB
