In computing, comp is a command used on DEC OS/8,[1] DOS,[2] DR FlexOS,[3] IBM OS/2,[4] Microsoft Windows[5] and related computer operating systems such as ReactOS. It is used to perform comparisons of multiple computer files to show the differences between them.[6]

History

COMP.COM (among other commands) in IBM PC DOS 1.0.

In DOS, the comp command first appeared in PC DOS 1.0[7] and has been included in most versions of MS-DOS and PC DOS. A newer command, fc was added in DOS 3.3 which allows for line comparisons in addition to binary comparisons. DR DOS 6.0 also includes an implementation of the comp command.[8]

The FreeDOS version was developed by Paul Vojta and is licensed under the MIT License.[9] Ged Murphy developed the ReactOS version. It is licensed under the GNU GPL 2.[10]

The command is also available in the EFI shell.[11]
