you can compare a directory tree which is rooted in your current
directory and a specified one.

=46rom man:

The mtree utility compares the file hierarchy rooted in the current
directory against a specification read from the standard input.
Messages are written to the standard output for any files whose
characteristics do not match the specifications, or which are missing
from either the file hierarchy or the specification.
