BinCmp Description
Handling numerous files could at some point involve the occurrence of duplicates. In such situations, although the file names might coincide, the binary structure could still be different. Opening each file separately for manually identifying potential differences isn’t a practical approach and, sooner or later, users may seek for alternatives. One of them is BinCmp, a lightweight, command-line based utility that can help users identify discrepancies when comparing two binary files.
Command-line editor interface that will provide several on-screen switches, for easy handling
Being deployed in a lightweight package and requiring no installation process or configuration steps, BinCmp will be easy to run by accessing the command-line editor from its containing directory. When running the executable command, users will be greeted with several useful switches, which will offer insight into the application’s functionality.
Provided that they have two files to compare, the utility will be able to list several characteristics when performing the comparison operation: maximum differences and all differences, with customizable start offset for the two files together or separately.
Easily compare two binary files with this compact utility that offers customizable comparison process
The application is easy-to-use and features an intuitive set of commands, which might be accessible even to novices who aren’t yet accustomed to the command-line functionality. The files that need to be compared can easily be indicated, by providing their full name and extension.
Once the files have been provided, people can customize the difference identification process by adding extra parameters, for example, to perform an asynchronous file read. Even more useful, for comparing only part of the files, they will be able to specify the number of bytes to be compared, therefore saving on time, by identifying differences early in the file structure.
Interesting application that will allow users to compare two files by relying on the command-line editor
For those who wish to perform a more in-depth comparison of two files, this compact and lightweight application could be a wise choice. Command-line editor based, it will allow them to easily indicate the files that need to be compared, select to compute the maximum or all the differences and add extra comparison parameters. To this end, it will allow them to select only a specific numbers of bytes to be compared or start the process with a preferred start offset.
