Command: comp

  COMP compares two files.

Syntax:

  COMP [/options] [drive][path]file1 [drive][path]file2
       where [file1] and [file2] are file names (possibly with wild
       cards) or directory names. If [file2] is omitted, the current
       directory is assumed.
       drive  the drive letter, e.g. C:
       path   the directory, e.g. \example\
       file1  the first file to compare, e.g. test1.txt
       file2  the second file to compare, e.g. test2.txt

Options:

  #       Do not print more than # errors per file. If # = 0, do not
          limit the number of errors. Default is 0 if [file1] refers
          to a single file, 10 if more than one file.
  /d      Displays the differences in decimal format. Default is hex.
  /a      Displays the differences using characters.
  /L      Displays the line number for the differences that occur.
  /n=nnn  Compares the first nnn lines of both files, even if the files
          are of difference size.
  /c      Ignores case (default is case sensitive).
  /?      Shows the help.
