SYNOPSIS

# Compare two trees
DESCRIPTION
Treecmp recursively descends the directory tree of its second argument and compares all files to those at the corresponding position in the
first argument. If the two trees are identical, i.e., all the corresponding directories and files are the same, there is no output. Oth-
erwise, a list of files missing from one of the trees or present in both but whose contents are not identical in both are printed. When
the -c flag is given, only files that are changed from the old version or are new (i.e., absent in the old version) are listed.
