Which option is used with cmp command to give a detailed list of the byte number and the differing bytes in octal for each character that differs in both the files ?

Correct answer: A. -l

  • A. -l
  • B. -d
  • C. -r
  • D. -b

Explanation

The `-l` option makes `cmp` print each differing byte's position and the differing byte values in octal. By contrast, `-b` gives a brief indication of differing bytes without this full per-byte listing.
