## Description
|
||
|
|
dircomp is a program for evaluating wether two directories are equivalent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two directories are equivalent if and only if these conditions apply:
|
||
|
|
* They have the same number of files and folders;
|
||
|
|
* For each file in a directory, there is the same file in the other. Two files are considered to be the same
|
||
|
|
if they have the same name, including extension, and same content, evaluated through a checksum.
|
||
|
|
* For each folder in a directory, there is a folder with the same name in the other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the recursive option is applied, then another condition must hold true:
|
||
|
|
* For each folder in a directory, there is an equivalent folder in the other, with the same name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
-r Recursive
|
||
|
|
-v Verbose
|
||
|
|
-h Print this help and quit
|
||
|
|
```
