NAME
       bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files

SYNOPSIS
       bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
       bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]

DESCRIPTION
       Bzcmp  and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff
       program on bzip2 compressed files.  All  options  speci-
       fied are passed directly to cmp or diff.  If only 1 file
       is specified, then the files compared are file1  and  an
       uncompressed  file1.bz2.   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.

SEE ALSO
       cmp(1),  diff(1),   bzmore(1),   bzless(1),   bzgrep(1),
       bzip2(1)

BUGS
       Messages  from  the cmp or diff programs refer to tempo-
       rary filenames instead of those specified.
