2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net

CMP

CMP compares 2 files at the byte level. It will display the file offset and the value of the byte from every file when a difference is find.

Syntax: CMP <path1> <path2>

Example:

CMP /do/CMDS/xmode /d1/CMDS/xmode

If the files are identical, it returns

Differences
None ...
Bytes compared:  00000439
Bytes different: 00000000

If the files are different, the result will be something like

Differences
byte      #1 #2
========  == ==
00000007  80 81
00000008  66 67
0000004C  70 58
Bytes compared:  00000439
Bytes different: 00000003
