# dircomp
## Name
dircomp - A directory comparison tool
## Synopsis
`dircomp directory1 directory2 [-r] [-v] [-h]`
## 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
```
