As opposed to diff for non files? :) I think you mean non text files? Diff will operate on binary files, but it will only say if it differs instead of outputting diff text. Just do a recursive diff, the -q will keep it quiet on text files as well and only say that it differs. diff -qr <dir1> <dir2> If there's any output then somethings not the same.
