|
|
.B -L

If offsets are given,
|
||
|

comparison starts at the designated byte position
|
||
|
|
of the corresponding file.
|
||
|
|
Offsets that begin with
|
||
|
|
.B 0x
|
||

If they are the same except that one is longer than the other, the exit status is
|
||
|
|
.LR EOF .
|
||

Otherwise
|
||
|
|
.I cmp
|

|
||
|
|
.LR differ .
