NAME
       dircmp - directory comparison

SYNOPSIS
       dircmp [-ds] [-w n] dir1 dir2

DESCRIPTION
       The  dircmp  command  examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabulated information about the contents of the directories. Listings of
       files that are unique to each directory are generated for all the options. If no option is entered, a list is output indicating whether the
       file names common to both directories have the same contents.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -d      Compares  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).

       -s      Suppresses messages about identical files.

       -w n    Changes the width of the output line to n characters. The default width is  72.
