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 pro-
gram on 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.gz.
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.

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