XZDIFF(1)                                     XZ Utils                                     XZDIFF(1)



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),
       bzip2(1), or lzop(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 compression 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.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
       Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames  instead  of  those
       specified.
