CMP (I)                      1/15/73                      CMP (I)





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, all in octal.



FILES           --



SEE ALSO        proof(I)



DIAGNOSTICS     Messages are given for inability to open either

                argument, premature EOF on either argument, and

                incorrect usage.



BUGS            If the shorter of the two files is of odd length,

                cmp acts as if a null byte had been appended to

                it.
