DESCRIPTION
The interface_cmp command compares the interface definition files for
two workspaces and reports versioning inconsistencies. Interface
definition files are created by interface_check.
- interface_cmp is typically called from nightly(1) when the -A option is
- in effect following the creation of a new database by interface_check.
- To insure symbolic interface consistency between successive software
- releases, existing version definitions and their symbol association
- should remain intact. Any discrepancies between the two interface
- definitions are flagged as errors.

Note that version definition inheritance has the effect of causing a
symbol to be viewed as existing in multiple definitions. This insures
that both version definitions and their inheritance relationship are
processed as part of the comparison.
