+.TH NTFSCMP 8 "April 2006" "ntfsprogs @VERSION@"
+.SH NAME
+ntfscmp \- compare two NTFS filesystems and tell the differences
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ntfscmp
+[\fIOPTIONS\fR]
+.I DEVICE1
+.I DEVICE2
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ntfscmp
+program makes a comparison between two NTFS filesystems from all aspects and 
+reports all varianses it finds.
+The filesystems can be on block devices or images files. Ntfscmp can be used
+for volume verification however its primarily purpose was to be an efficient
+development tool, used to quickly locate, identify and check the correctness
+of the metadata changes made to NTFS. 
+
+If one is interested only in the NTFS metadata changes then it could be useful
+to compare the metadata images created by 
+using the --metadata option of
+.BR ntfsclone (8)
+to eliminate the usually uninteresting timestamp changes.
+
+The terse output of
+.B ntfscmp
+is intentional because the provided information is enough in each case
+to determine the exact differences. This can be achieved, for instance,
+if one compares the verbose outputs of
+.BR ntfsinfo (8)
+for each reported inodes by the 
+.BR diff (1)
+utility.
+.SH OPTIONS
+Below is a summary of the options that
+.B ntfscmp
+accepts.
