I recall that for a file is equal test cmp is the command to use
not diff.
That was mentioned in an earlier message. cmp doesn't have a
recursive
option and diff works just fine for binary files.
Since diff works in terms of lines, what if there are no newline bytes
in the files? Could diff have an internal buffer overflow?
That's only for text files and I'm very sure that it has proper buffer
handling. For binary files, it's just a simple yes/no answer with a
message if they're different.
$ diff x y
Binary files x and y differ
$ diff x x
$
