NAME
zipcmp - compare contents of zip archives
SYNOPSIS
zipcmp [-ChipqsTtVv] archive1 archive2
DESCRIPTION
zipcmp compares the zip archives or directories archive1 and archive2 and
checks if they contain the same files, comparing their names,
uncompressed sizes, and CRCs. File order and compressed size differences
are ignored.
Supported options:
-C Check consistency of archives. Results in an error if archive is
inconsistent or not valid according to the zip specification.
-h Display a short help message and exit.
-i Compare names ignoring case distinctions.
-p Enable paranoid checks. Compares extra fields, comments, and other
meta data. (Automatically disabled if one of the archives is a
directory.) These checks are skipped for files where the data
differs.
-q Quiet mode. Compare -v.
-s Print a summary of how many files where added and removed.
-T Additionally compare the time stamps of the entries.
-t Test zip files by comparing the contents to their checksums.
-V Display version information and exit.
-v Verbose mode. Print details about differences to stdout. (This is
the default.)
EXIT STATUS
zipcmp exits 0 if the two archives contain the same files, 1 if they
differ, and >1 if an error occurred.
