## Name
cmp - compare files
## Synopsis
```**sh
$ cmp [options...] file1 file2
```
## Description
Compare two files and report the location of any differences. By default, execution stops after the first difference, but this can be overridden (see `--verbose` option). Byte and line numbers start at 1.
## Options
* `--help`: Display help message and exit
* `-l`, `--verbose`: Output the byte number, and the differing bytes, for every difference.
* `-s`, `--silent`: Silence output.
## Arguments
* `file1` and `file2`: Files to compare. Use `-` as the file name to read from standard input.
## Exit status
* 0 - Files are identical.
* 1 - Files are different.
* 2 - An error occurred.
