NAME¶
bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files
SYNOPSIS¶
bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Bzcmp and
bzdiff are used to invoke the
cmp or the
diff program on bzip2 compressed files. 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.bz2.
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.
SEE ALSO¶
cmp(1),
diff(1),
bzmore(1),
bzless(1),
bzgrep(1),
bzip2(1)
BUGS¶
Messages from the
cmp or
diff programs refer to temporary
filenames instead of those specified.
