.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Zcmp
|
|
and
|
|
.I zdiff
|
|
are used to invoke the
|
|
.I cmp
|
|
or the
|
|
.I diff
|
|
program on compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
|
|
.I cmp
|
|
or
|
|
.IR diff "."
|
|
If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are
|
|
.I file1
|
|
and an uncompressed
|
|
.IR file1 ".gz."
|
|
If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to
|
|
.I cmp
|
|
or
|
|
.IR diff "."
|
|
The exit status from
|
|
.I cmp
|
|
or
|
|
.I diff
|
|
is preserved.

|
programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
