Bug in "cmp" man page: missing exit status value

The man page for cmp says of the -s option: "Output nothing; yield exit
status only."  But nowhere does it say what that exit status will be.
It should say whether a zero or non-zero exit status means "the files
are the same" or "the files differ" or vice versa.
