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 speci-
       fied are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only 1 file
       is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an
       uncompressed 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 tempo-
       rary filenames instead of those specified.
