+
+# NAME
+
+cmp - compare two files
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+*cmp* [*-l*|*-s*] *file1* *file2*
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Compare two files. If the files are identical, *cmp* doesn't write anything
+to standard output and returns 0. Else, with no options, it writes to
+standard output the byte and line number at which it found the first
+difference and returns 1.
+
+*-l*
+ Write the byte number and the differing bytes for each difference in
+ decimal and octal respectively.
+
+*-s*
+ Write nothing to standard output or standard error when the files
+ differ. Only write diagnostic messages to standard error.
+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+*cmp -s foo.txt bar.txt*
+ Compare foo.txt to bar.txt and return 1 if the files are different.
