# Module 'cmp'
|
|
|
|
# Efficiently compare files, boolean outcome only (equal / not equal).
|
|
|
|
# Tricks (used in this order):
|
|
# - Files with identical type, size & mtime are assumed to be clones
|
|
# - Files with different type or size cannot be identical
|
|
# - We keep a cache of outcomes of earlier comparisons
|
|
# - We don't fork a process to run 'cmp' but read the files ourselves
|
|
|
