\begin{Description}\relax
Compares the contents of two CDF files.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}compareCdfs(pathname, other, quick=FALSE, verbose=0, ...)\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{pathname}] The pathname of the first CDF file.
\item[\code{other}] The pathname of the seconds CDF file.
\item[\code{quick}] If \code{\LinkA{TRUE}{TRUE}}, only a subset of the units are compared,
otherwise all units are compared.
\item[\code{verbose}] An \code{\LinkA{integer}{integer}}. The larger the more details are printed.
\item[\code{...}] Not used.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
The comparison is done with an upper-limit memory usage, regardless of
the size of the CDFs.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
Returns \code{\LinkA{TRUE}{TRUE}} if the two CDF are equal, otherwise \code{\LinkA{FALSE}{FALSE}}.  If \code{\LinkA{FALSE}{FALSE}},
the attribute \code{reason} contains a string explaining what
difference was detected, and the attributes \code{value1} and
\code{value2} contain the two objects/values that differs.
\end{Value}
