+# The `cmp` command
+
+The `cmp` command is used to compare the two files byte by byte.
+
+Example:
+```
+cmp file1.txt file2.txt
+```
+
+Syntax:
+```
+cmp [option] File1 File2
+```
+
+## Few Examples :
+
+1. ### Comparison of two files:
+
+Perform a simple comparison of the two files to check out if they differ from each other or not.
+
+Example:
+```
+cmp File1 File2
+```
+
+2. ### Comparing Files after Skipping a Specified Number of Bytes:
+
+Compare two files after skipping a certain number of bytes
+
+Example:
+```
+cmp -i 2 list.txt list2.txt
+```
+
+Here “INT” represents the number of bytes to be skipped
+
+3. ### Display the Differing Bytes of the Files in the Output:
+
+Example: 
+```
+cmp -b list.txt list1.txt
+```
+4. ### Display Byte Numbers and Differing Byte Values of the Files in the Output:
+
+Example: 
+```
+cmp -l list.txt list1.txt
+```
+
+5. ### Comparing the First “n” Number of Bytes of the Files:
+
+Example:
+```
+cmp -n 10 list.txt list2.txt 
+```
+### Additional Flags and their Functionalities
+
+|**Short Flag**   |**Long Flag**   |**Description**   |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+|`-b`|`--print-bytes`|print differing bytes|
+|`-i`|`--ignore-initial=SKIP`|skip first SKIP bytes of both inputs|
+|`-i`|`--ignore-initial=SKIP1:SKIP2`|skip first SKIP1 bytes of FILE1 and first SKIP2 bytes of FILE2|
+|`-l`|`--verbose`|output byte numbers and differing byte values|
+|`-n`|`--bytes=LIMIT`|compare at most LIMIT bytes|
+|`-s`|`--quiet, --silent`|suppress all normal output|
+|`v`|`--version`|output version information and exit|
+||`--help`|Display this help and exit|
