!!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'' program 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.
!!SEE ALSO


cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1),
gzip(1), gzexe(1)
!!BUGS


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