DESCRIPTION

13       The  dircmp  command examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabu‐

15       files  that  are  unique  to  each  directory are generated for all the
16       options. If no option is entered, a list is output  indicating  whether
17       the file names common to both directories have the same contents.
