+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zdiff
+[\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIDIFF_OPTIONS\fR] \fIFILE1 \fR[\fIFILE2\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Zdiff \- Diff/cmp wrapper for compressed files.
+.PP
+Zdiff 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, lzip and xz.
+.PP
+Zcmp is a shortcut for "zdiff \fB\-\-cmp\fR"
+.PP
+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.
