           The two files are compared.  (If _f_i_l_e_1 is ----, the standard
           input is used.) Under default options, _c_m_p makes no comment
           if the files are the same; if they differ, it announces the
           byte and line number at which the difference occurred.  If
           one file is an initial subsequence of the other, that fact
           is noted.

           Options:

           ----llll    Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing
                 bytes (octal) for each difference.

           ----ssss    Print nothing for differing files; return codes only.

           Exit code 0 is returned for identical files, 1 for different
           files, and 2 for an inaccessible or missing argument.
