# treecmp(1)

## NAME

         treecmp - recursively list differences in two directory trees

## SYNOPSIS

         treecmp [-cv] olddir newdir

## OPTIONS

         -c   (changes) list the names of changed or new files

         -v   (verbose) list all directories processed

## EXAMPLES

         treecmp -v /usr/ast/V1 /usr/ast/V2
                             # Compare two trees

## DESCRIPTION

         Treecmp recursively descends the directory tree of  its  second  argument
         and  compares  all  files  to  those at the corresponding position in the
         first  argument.  If  the  two  trees  are  identical,  i.e.,   all   the
         corresponding  directories  and  files  are the same, there is no output.
         Otherwise, a list of files missing from one of the trees  or  present  in
         both  but whose contents are not identical in both are printed.  When the
         -c flag is given, only files that are changed from the old version or are
         new (i.e., absent in the old version) are listed.
