File structure comparison

To test server migration, we need to compare files under a directory in source and target servers.


I need to verify if the below two directories on two servers are identical (i.e., contains same directories and files with same size. They may have multiple level sub-directories)

//SourceServer/project1/nesteddir
//TargetServer/project1/nesteddir

Has anyone done a similar stuff?

The output of diff command is quite complex to understand. Is there any other simple way?

fstrcasecmp(3)						     Library Functions Manual						    fstrcasecmp(3)

NAME
fstrcasecmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD #define FSTRCMP_ERROR double fstrcasecmp(const char *string1, const char *string2); DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ignoring case. RETURN VALUE
The fstrcasecmp function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL. A value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people. A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure. SEE ALSO
