| 15 | The two files are compared. (If _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\b1 is `-', the standard | |
| 16 | input is used.) With no options, _\bc_\bm_\bp makes no comment if | |
| 17 | the files are the same; if they differ, it reports the byte | |
| 18 | and line number at which the difference occurred, or, that | |
| 19 | one file is an initial subsequence of the other. _\bS_\bk_\bi_\bp_\b1 and | |
| 20 | _\bs_\bk_\bi_\bp_\b2 are initial byte offsets into _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\b1 and _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\b2 respec- | |
| 21 | tively, and may be either octal or decimal; a leading ``0'' | |
| 22 | denotes octal. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Options: | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | -\b-s\bs Print nothing for differing files; set exit codes | |
| 27 | only. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | -\b-l\bl Print the byte number (in decimal) and the differing | |
| 30 | bytes (in octal) for all differences between the two | |
| 31 | files. | |

| 37 | Exit code 0 is returned for identical files, 1 for different | |
| 38 | files, and 2 for an inaccessible or missing argument, or a | |
| 39 | system error. | |
