My "POSIX" compliant cmp doesn't contain this "-i" options. It sounds cool, but it doesn't have it. I also don't know what cmp would print out the timestamp difference.
So how about running each file through a process that strips the first 372 bytes, then compare the resulting files?
having a slight problem. any clues would help. Can't seem to get any output when I run a simple echo script.

i recently copied 400GB of data from a NTFS drive to a ext4 drive. I want to verify that the data is 100% identical to the original.
I wanted to use cmp but it only does two files. The directory that was copied contains many subdirectories and all sorts of files (not just text).
So I guess... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I would like to compare 2 files, and have a return code write to a file.
regardless of the files contents are the same the code should be writing to a file (if both files contents are same then return code 0).
A simple example will be great :)
Thanks (3 Replies)

xzdiff
XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xzdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp(1) or diff(1). If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported
compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
