CMP(I)                       5/15/74                       CMP(I)







NAME

     cmp - compare two files



SYNOPSIS

     cmp file1 file2



DESCRIPTION

     The  two  files  are  compared   for   identical   contents.

     Discrepancies  are  noted  by  giving  the  offset  and  the

     differing words, all in octal.



SEE ALSO

     proof (I), comm (I)



BUGS

     If the shorter of the two files is of odd length,  cmp  acts

     as  if  a  null byte had been appended to it.  The offset is

     only a single-precision number.
