  NAME

    dircmp - Examines and generates information about directory contents

  SYNOPSIS

    dircmp [-d] [-s] [-w "n"] dir1 dir2

  FLAGS

    -d   Compares the contents of files with the same name in both directories
         and outputs a list telling what must be changed in the two files to
         bring them into agreement.  The list format is described in diff.

    -s   Suppresses messages about identical files.

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

  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 flags.  If no flag
    is entered, a list is output indicating whether the filenames common to
    both directories have the same contents.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To list the contents of both directories, showing whether or not files
        with the same name have the same contents:

        dircmp dir1 dir2


    2.  To do the equivalent of diff on any files which have the same name in
        dir1 and dir2:

        dircmp -ds dir1 dir2
