# Script     : cmprc
# Version    : 1.0
# Author     : Roland Rashleigh-Berry
# Date       : 15-Jan-2007
# Purpose    : To run "cmp" and echo the return code
# SubScripts : none
# Notes      : Echoing the return code provides evidence that the check was done
#              and the files matched, for when the return code is 0. The return
#              code is echoed to standard error, the same destination as all
#              "cmp" messages will be routed. The command to be run is echoed to
#              standard error before it is run. The script arguments (including
#              any options) are passed as-is to "cmp" for error detection. The
#              return code of this script is set to the return code of the "cmp"
#              call.
# Usage      : cmprc file1 file2
#              cmprc -s file1 file2
