Yeah, cmp works just fine with the -i option. cmp --help shows it too. "rpm" shows that the package was installed in 2002 and that the man pages came along with it. Sounds like the man pages were never updated.

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 :)

GZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual GZDIFF(1)
NAME
gzcmp, gzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
gzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
gzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
gzcmp and gzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to cmp or
diff. If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.gz. If two files are specified, then they
are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff. The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), gzmore(1), gzgrep(1), gznew(1), gzforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
