NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS

file2]
lzcmp [
cmp_options]

lzdiff [

DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and
xzdiff invoke
cmp(1) or
diff(1) on files compressed with
xz(1),
lzma(1),
gzip(1),
bzip2(1),
lzop(1), or
zstd(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
unless a decompression error occurs; then exit status is 2.
The names
lzcmp and
lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility
with LZMA Utils.
