I have a requirement to compare binrary or text based files and I am
looking for some very very effient "C" code, which I can call from my
application.

Can anybody provide me with some examples or point me to a place where
I can find some Open Source for the "cmp" utility or something very
similiar.

Thanks in advance for all that answer this post.

The GNU cmp program belongs to the diffutils, you can download the
sources from
