NAME            cmp -- compare two files



SYNOPSIS        cmp file  file
                        1     2


DESCRIPTION     The two files are compared for identical con-

                tents.  Discrepancies are noted by giving the

                offset and the differing words.

SEE ALSO        --



DIAGNOSTICS     Messages are given for inability to open either

                argument, premature EOF on either argument, and

                incorrect usage.



BUGS            If the two files differ in length by one byte,

                the extra byte does not enter into the compari-

                son.
