NAME
bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files
SYNOPSIS
bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to
invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2
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.bz2. 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),
bzmore(1),
bzless(1),
bzgrep(1),
bzip2(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs
refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
