15 Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on
16 bzip2 compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
17 cmp or diff. If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are
18 file1 and an uncompressed file1.bz2. If two files are specified, then
19 they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff. The exit
20 status from cmp or diff is preserved.
