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 compressed 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 com-
pression 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 compatibility with
LZMA Utils.
