Directory comparison

Carlo Henrico_1 — Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:02:43 GMT

How would I go about comparing the contents of two directories to one another?

I have tried this:

ls -R /directory1/*.pc -exec cmp -s /directory1/{} /directory2/{}
and variations without any success.

Any help please?

try the command

dircmp

See also 'man dircmp'

Another way could be the following:

diff -r DIR1 DIR2
