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.
