- The two files are compared. (If _f_i_l_e_1 is `-', the standard
- input is used.) With no options, _c_m_p makes no comment if
- the files are the same; if they differ, it reports the byte
- and line number at which the difference occurred, or, that
- one file is an initial subsequence of the other. _S_k_i_p_1 and
- _s_k_i_p_2 are initial byte offsets into _f_i_l_e_1 and _f_i_l_e_2 respec-
- tively, and may be either octal or decimal; a leading ``0''
- denotes octal.
-
- Options:
-
- --ss Print nothing for differing files; set exit codes
- only.
-
- --ll Print the byte number (in decimal) and the differing
- bytes (in octal) for all differences between the two
- files.
