.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B xzcmp
|
|
and
|
|
.B xzdiff
|
|
invoke
|
|
.BR cmp (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR diff (1)
|
|
on files compressed with
|
|
.BR xz (1),
|
|
.BR lzma (1),
|
|
.BR gzip (1),
|
|
.BR bzip2 (1),
|
|
.BR lzop (1),
|
|
or
|
|
.BR zstd (1).
|
|
All options specified are passed directly to
|
|
.BR cmp (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR diff (1).
|
|
If only one file is specified, then the files compared are
|
|
.I file1
|
|
(which must have a suffix of a supported compression format) and
|
|
.I file1
|
|
from which the compression format suffix has been stripped.
|
|
If two files are specified,
|
|
then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to
|
|
.BR cmp (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR diff (1).
|
|
The exit status from
|
|
.BR cmp (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR diff (1)
|
|
is preserved unless a decompression error occurs; then exit status is 2.
|
|

|
|
The names
|
|
.B lzcmp
|
|
and
|
|
.B lzdiff
|
|
are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
