ZDIFF(1)							      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 one file is specified, then it is compared to a file
       with the same name without the .gz extension. If two files  are	speciā€
       fied,  then  they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff.
       The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.

       When both files must be uncompressed before comparison, the  second  is
       uncompressed  to	 /tmp.	 In all other cases, zdiff and zcmp use only a
       pipe.

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 specified.
