+XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)

+
+NAME
+ xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
+ xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
+ lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
+ lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
+
+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 suf-
+ fix of a supported compression format) and file1 from which the com-
+ pression 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 decompres-
+ sion error occurs; then exit status is 2.
+
+ The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with
+ LZMA Utils.
+

+
+BUGS
+ Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary file-
+ names instead of those specified.
