-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:
-
-@example
-lzdiff [@var{options}] [@var{diff_options}] @var{file1} [@var{file2}]
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Compares @var{file1} to @var{file2}. If @var{file2} is omitted, compares
-@var{file1} to the uncompressed contents of @var{file1}.[gz|bz2|lz]
-(depending on the default compressor selected). @var{diff_options} are
-passed directly to diff or cmp. The exit status from diff or cmp is
-preserved.
-
-Lzdiff supports the following options:
-
-@table @samp
-@item --help
-@itemx -h
-Print an informative help message describing the options and exit.
-
-@item --version
-@itemx -V
-Print the version number of lzdiff on the standard output and exit.

-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.
