BZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual BZDIFF(1)
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 in-
stead of those specified.
