5 years, 10 months ago does the cmp stop when it found the first difference, and display it or it goes through the end of the files? 5 years, 10 months ago Nice. I got a diff: memory exhausted when comparing two 13G files. 6 years, 4 months ago not sure about the reason but a pure cmp will be more efficient than computing any hash function of files and comparing them (at least for only 2 files) 5 years, 11 months ago diff seems to have problems with really large files. 7 years, 8 months ago I have a shell script that runs: cmp $1 $2 & echo "identical" || echo "different" 7 years, 4 months ago A question asking to show how they differ: /questions/125376/… 6 years, 7 months ago Can you explain your down votes please? SHA1 has 4 upvotes, and if the OP thinks there's a chance the two files could be the same or similar, the chances of a collision are slight and not worthy of down voting MD5 but up voting SHA1 other than because you heard you should hash your passwords with SHA1 instead of MD5 (that's a different problem). If you enjoy this application, show your support to the authors & contributors with:ģ years, 10 months ago Related Topics file binary diff compare Comments 8 years, 8 months ago For the use case the OP describes IMHO cmp is more efficient than diff.

Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions to GitHub at or at SourceForge at If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this software has both stronger security & stronger privacy. So it used a very small amount of storage space.
Compare two large files side by side (diff).Supports very large files up to 2^64 bytes (2 ExaByte).Easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI).Which is helpful for doing reverse Engineering. But with details if you're interested in those. To get it for free, choose one of the following options:īelow is the same suggestion as above. WxHe圎ditor is both free and able to Diff large files up to 2^64 bytes (2 ExaByte). Now fortunately you don't have to check error codes each and every time because you can just use the -s (or -report-identical-files) switch to make diff be more verbose: $ diff -s test1.bin copyoftest1.binįiles test1.bin and copyoftest1.bin are identical There is no output on identical files.īut there are different error codes: $ diff test1.bin test2.bin and test1.bin and copyoftest1.bin should be identical: $ diff test1.bin copyoftest1.bin Now test1.bin and test2.bin should be different: $ diff test1.bin test2.binīinary files test1.bin and test2.bin differ Now let's make a copy of the first file: $ cp test1.bin copyoftest1.bin Let's start by creating two files with random binary contents: $ dd if=/dev/random bs=1k count=1 of=test1.binġ024 bytes (1,0 kB, 1,0 KiB) copied, 0,0100332 s, 102 kB/s Short answer: run diff with the -s switch.
