NAME
     xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS
     xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2
     xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2
     lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2
     lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2

DESCRIPTION
     xzcmp  and  xzdiff  invoke  cmp(1)  or diff(1) on files com-
     pressed with xz(1),  lzma(1),  gzip(1),  or  bzip2(1).   All
     options  specified are passed directly to cmp(1) or diff(1).
     If only one file is specified, then the files  compared  are
     file1  (which  must have a suffix of a supported compression
     format) and file1 from which the compression  format  suffix
     has  been  stripped.   If two files are specified, then they
     are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or  diff(1).
     The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved.

     The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compat-
     ibility with LZMA Utils.
