You make a good point. Sorry for the rash action. This should be clarified in
the man page.
The solution to this documentation issue is *not* to change "info diff"
to "info cmp" because there is no Texinfo manual for cmp.
Instead, the SEE ALSO section should be editted to say something like:
--
The full documentation for cmp is maintained as a Texinfo manual. To access
this manual, you must have the Ubuntu diff-doc package installed. You can do so
with the command
apt-get install diff-doc
Once you have the package instlalled, run the command
info diff
to get access to the complete manual.

What do you guys think?
** Changed in: diffutils (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed

Misleading information in "man cmp". Easily correctable.
