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 pro-
     gram  on  bzip2 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 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  temporary
     filenames instead of those specified.
