-6 Lzdiff
-********
-
-Lzdiff is a wrapper script around the diff and cmp commands that allows
-transparent comparison of any combination of compressed and
-non-compressed files. If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed
-content is used. The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2 and lzip.
-
- The format for running lzdiff is:
-
- lzdiff [OPTIONS] [DIFF_OPTIONS] FILE1 [FILE2]
-
-Compares FILE1 to FILE2. If FILE2 is omitted, compares FILE1 to the
-uncompressed contents of FILE1.[gz|bz2|lz] (depending on the default
-compressor selected). DIFF_OPTIONS are passed directly to diff or cmp.
-The exit status from diff or cmp is preserved.
-
- Lzdiff supports the following options:
-
-`--help'
-`-h'
- Print an informative help message describing the options and exit.
-
-`--version'
-`-V'
- Print the version number of lzdiff on the standard output and exit.
-
-`--gzip'
- Use gzip as default decompressor.
-
-`--bzip2'
- Use bzip2 as default decompressor.
-
-`--lzip'
- Use lzip as default decompressor (default).
-
-`--diff'
- Use diff to compare files (default).
-
-`--cmp'
- Use cmp to compare files.
-
-
- Lzdiff has the limitation that messages from the diff or cmp programs
-refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.

-********
-
-Lzgrep is a wrapper script around the grep command that allows
-transparent search on any combination of compressed and non-compressed
-files. If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed content is
-used. If a given file does not exist, lzgrep tries the compressed file
-name corresponding to the default compressor selected. The supported
-compressors are gzip, bzip2 and lzip.
-
- The format for running lzgrep is:
-
- lzgrep [OPTIONS] [GREP_OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILES]
-
-GREP_OPTIONS are passed directly to grep. The exit status from grep is
-preserved.
-
- Lzgrep supports the following options:
