.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 and FILE1 is compressed,
|
|
compares FILE1 to the file with the corresponding decompressed file
|
|
name (removes the extension from FILE1). If FILE2 is omitted and FILE1
|
|
is not compressed, compares FILE1 to the uncompressed contents of
|
|
FILE1.[gz|bz2|lz|xz] (the first one that is found).
|
|
DIFF_OPTIONS are passed directly to diff or cmp.
|
|
The exit status from diff or cmp is preserved.
