NAME

mapdircmp - Compare directory trees with mapdir(1)

SYNOPSIS

mapdircmp [-hkv] [-x excludes_file] savefile1 dirtree1 savefile2 dirtree2

DESCRIPTION

mapdircmp is a wrapper script around the mapdir(1) utility, that makes the verification of directory trees, that are assumed to be equal, easier to perform. The savefile arguments will be generated in the invoking user's home directory by default. The following options are understood:

OPTIONS

-h: print usage information and exit.
-k: keep the savefiles.
-v: be more verbose.
-x excludes_file: read the files to be excluded from excludes_file. Entries are expected to contain the full path to file and are read line by line.

EXAMPLE

Verify the consistency between /path/to/dir1 and /path/to/dir2 and keep the savefiles:

mapdircmp -k dir1.txt /path/to/dir1 dir2.txt /path/to/dir2

BUGS

Please report when found.
