<p class="Pp"><code class="Nm">zipcmp</code> compares the zip archives or
directories <var class="Ar">archive1</var> and
<var class="Ar">archive2</var> and checks if they contain the same files,
comparing their names, uncompressed sizes, and CRCs. File order and
compressed size differences are ignored.</p>
<p class="Pp">Supported options:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt id="C"><a class="permalink" href="#C"><code class="Fl">-C</code></a></dt>
<dd>Check consistency of archives. Results in an error if archive is
inconsistent or not valid according to the zip specification.</dd>
<dt id="h"><a class="permalink" href="#h"><code class="Fl">-h</code></a></dt>
<dd>Display a short help message and exit.</dd>
<dt id="i"><a class="permalink" href="#i"><code class="Fl">-i</code></a></dt>
<dd>Compare names ignoring case distinctions.</dd>
<dt id="p"><a class="permalink" href="#p"><code class="Fl">-p</code></a></dt>
<dd>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.</dd>
<dt id="q"><a class="permalink" href="#q"><code class="Fl">-q</code></a></dt>
<dd>Quiet mode. Compare <code class="Fl">-v</code>.</dd>
<dt id="s"><a class="permalink" href="#s"><code class="Fl">-s</code></a></dt>
<dd>Print a summary of how many files where added and removed.</dd>
<dt id="T"><a class="permalink" href="#T"><code class="Fl">-T</code></a></dt>
<dd>Additionally compare the time stamps of the entries.</dd>
<dt id="t"><a class="permalink" href="#t"><code class="Fl">-t</code></a></dt>
<dd>Test zip files by comparing the contents to their checksums.</dd>
<dt id="V"><a class="permalink" href="#V"><code class="Fl">-V</code></a></dt>
<dd>Display version information and exit.</dd>
<dt id="v"><a class="permalink" href="#v"><code class="Fl">-v</code></a></dt>
