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 pro­
        gram on  compressed  files.   All  options  specified  are
        passed  directly to cmp or diff.  If only 1 file is speci­
        fied, then the files compared  are  file1  and  an  uncom­
        pressed  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.

        gzip(1), gzexe(1)
 
 BUGS
        Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to  temporary
        filenames instead of those specified.
