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.
