System: NetBSD planet-zorp 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (ATHENAOTHER) #4: Thu Jan 18 03:29:37 EST 1996 ghudson@zygorthian-space-raiders:/u1/build/sys/arch/i386/compile/ATHENAOTHER i386


>Description:

	cmp -s will print a message to stderr if one of the files does
not exist.  Although the man page is ambiguous on this point, I
believe that -s should cause cmp to be silent.  This is the case on
irix 5.2, irix 5.3, sunos 4.1.4, and hpux 10.10, which are the other
platforms I happen to be logged in on right now.
