dircmp(1) General Commands Manual dircmp(1)
NAME
dircmp - directory comparison
SYNOPSIS
n] dir1 dir2
DESCRIPTION
examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabulated information about the contents of the directories. Sorted listings of files that
are unique to each directory are generated for all the options. If no option is entered, a sorted list is output indicating whether the
filenames common to both directories have the same contents.
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).
Suppress messages about identical files.
Change the width of the output line to
n characters. The default width is 72.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_COLLATE determines the order in which the output is sorted.
If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default. If is not specified or is set to
the empty string, a default of ``C'' (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to ``C'' (see environ(5)).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
EXAMPLES
Compare the two directories and and produce a list of changes that would make the directories identical:
