NAME
gzcmp, gzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
gzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
gzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Gzcmp and gzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on
files compressed via gzip. 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.
