zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
zcmp [ cmp_options ]
file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
Zcmp and zdiff are used
to invoke the cmp or the diff program on compressed files. All options
specified are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only 1 file is specified,
then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.gz. If two files
are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or
diff. The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
