dircmp -- directory comparison

Synopsis

dircmp [-d] [-s] [-wn] dir1 dir2

Description

dircmp 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. dircmp processes supplementary code set characters in directory and file names according to the locale specified in the LC_CTYPE environment variable (see LANG on environ(5)).

-d
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).

-s
Suppress messages about identical files.

-wn
Change the width of the output line to n columns. The default width is 72.

Files

/usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/uxdfm
language-specific message file (see LANG on environ(5)).
