 \title{Compares the contents of two CDF files}

 \usage{compareCdfs(pathname, other, quick=FALSE, verbose=0, ...)}

 \description{
   Compares the contents of two CDF files.
 }

 \arguments{
   \item{pathname}{The pathname of the first CDF file.}
   \item{other}{The pathname of the seconds CDF file.}
   \item{quick}{If \code{\link[base:logical]{TRUE}}, only a subset of the units are compared,
     otherwise all units are compared.}
   \item{verbose}{An \code{\link[base]{integer}}. The larger the more details are printed.}
   \item{...}{Not used.}
 }

 \value{
   Returns \code{\link[base:logical]{TRUE}} if the two CDF are equal, otherwise \code{\link[base:logical]{FALSE}}.  If \code{\link[base:logical]{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.
 }

 \details{
  The comparison is done with an upper-limit memory usage, regardless of
  the size of the CDFs.
 }
