BZDIFF(1)                                               BZDIFF(1)



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 uncom-
       pressed  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.
