ZDIFF(1) UNIX System V ZDIFF(1)
NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff
program on compressed files. All options specified are
passed directly to cmp or diff. If only 1 file is
specified, then the files compared are file1 and an
uncompressed file1.gz. If two files are specified, then
they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff.
The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1),
gzip(1), gzexe(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary
filenames instead of those specified.
