CMT (COMPARE_TREE) -- Compare source tree to target tree.
usage:  CMT source_pathname target_pathname [-L |-LD |-LF] {CL}


FORMAT

  CMT source_pathname target_pathname [options]


  CMT  compares  all  the  objects in the source tree against all objects in the
  target tree.  CMT reports any objects catalogued in the  source  that  do  not
  also  appear in the target.  Objects that appear in the target but that do not
  appear in the source, however, are not reported.


ARGUMENTS

  Both the source and target pathnames must specify the  same  type  of  object,
  either  a  directory  or  a file.  Use of wildcards in pathnames is permitted.
  Multiple source/target pairs are permitted.

  source_pathname
  (required)         Specify source tree.

  target_pathname
  (required)          Specify  target  tree.    Name   may   be   derived   from
                     'source_pathname.'


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, CMT will only report the names of directories and
  files with differences in source and target trees.

  -L                 List all directories and files compared.

  -LD                List all directories compared.

  -LF                List all files compared.

  -AE                Abort on the first mismatch, or if the source tree contains
                     a  name  not  found  in  the  target tree.  By default, the
                     comparison continues after the mismatch is reported.

  This command uses the command line parser, and so also  accepts  the  standard
  command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLES

  Assume  that the directories "dir1" and "dir2" each contain three files called
  "a," "b," and "c," and that the contents of the "b" files differ.    Following
  is the result of a comparison of those two directories.

    $ cmt dir1 dir2
    *** compare failed at file loc 0 SRC: 10002  DST: 100011
    dir1/b - compare failed (from US / file utility)
