cmp is a program, which compares files in two directories  (or trees).
That can be very useful, e.g. to examine in a backup, which files have
been changed / are new.

With  cmp  it is also possible,  to compare two files  and display the
differences (hex-dump).

cmp ist auch in der Lage,  zwei Dateien zu  vergleichen und die Unter-
