$ comp ${path\to\file1} ${path\to\file2}

try on your machine

The given command seems to be an incorrect syntax. However, assuming it is meant to be a Unix/Linux command, the "comp" command is typically used to compare two files line by line.

In a correct syntax, the "comp" command should be followed by the paths to two files that you want to compare. Here's an example:

comp /path/to/file1 /path/to/file2

In this example, "/path/to/file1" and "/path/to/file2" are the actual paths to the two files you want to compare.

When executed, the "comp" command will compare the content of the two files. It will display any differences found between the files, including the line numbers where the differences occur. If there is no difference, it won't display any output.

It's worth noting that the "comp" command may have different behaviors depending on the operating system and command shell being used.
