NAME
     zipcmp -- compare contents of zip archives

SYNOPSIS
     zipcmp [-hipqtVv] archive1 archive2

DESCRIPTION
     zipcmp compares the zip archives or directories archive1 and archive2 and
     checks if they contain the same files, comparing their names, uncom-
     pressed sizes, and CRCs.  File order and compressed size differences are
     ignored.

     Supported options:

     -h   Display a short help message and exit.

     -i   Compare names ignoring case distinctions.

     -p   Enable paranoid checks.  Compares extra fields and other meta data.
          (Automatically disabled if one of the archives is a directory.)

     -q   Quiet mode.  Compare -v.

     -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 dif-
     fer, and >1 if an error occurred.
