ZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual ZDIFF(1)
NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff 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 speci-
fied, 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 sta-
tus from cmp or diff is preserved.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those spec-
ified.
