The documentation for most GNU project software is available online as
html and available through your web browser.  The disadvantage is that
it will usually be the latest release and may not match the version
that is installed.

For diffutils (and for most projects):

  http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/

  http://www.gnu.org/manual/

Then the documentation page for diffutils:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/

I would use the "one web page per node" version.

  http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/index.html

And the cmp page in particular is here:

  
http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Invoking-cmp.html#Invoking-cmp

Hope that helps!
