zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
The zcmp and zdiff commands are used to invoke the cmp or the diff
program on files compressed via gzip. All options specified are
passed directly to cmp or diff. If only file1 is specified, it is
compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz. If two files are
specified, their contents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to cmp
or diff. The input files are not modified. The exit status from cmp
or diff is preserved.
