NAME

Dircmp - Use in place of dircmp command

SYNOPSIS

use File::Dircmp;

dircmp("directory1", "directory2");

The diffs are returned as an array of strings.

DESCRIPTION

I wrote File::Dircmp so I would not have to use the dircmp command, diff -r --brief on systems without dircmp.

The algorithm I use orders the report differently than the other commands.

TODO

-d        Compare the contents of files with the  same  name
          in both directories and output a list telling what
          must be changed in the two  files  to  bring  them
          into  agreement.  The  list format is described in
          diff(1).

-s        Suppress messages about identical files.

-w n      Change the width of the output line to  n  charac-
          ters. The default width is  72.
