Uncom- + pressed data and options are passed to cmp(1) or diff(1) unless --help + or --version is specified. + + If both file1 and file2 are specified, they can be uncompressed files + or files in formats that xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zstd(1), or + lz4(1) can decompress. The required decompression commands are deter- + mined from the filename suffixes of file1 and file2. A file with an + unknown suffix is assumed to be either uncompressed or in a format that + xz(1) can decompress. + + If only one filename is provided, file1 must have a suffix of a sup- + ported compression format and the name for file2 is assumed to be file1 + with the compression format suffix removed. + + The commands lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility + with LZMA Utils. + +EXIT STATUS + If a decompression error occurs, the exit status is 2. Otherwise the + exit status of cmp(1) or diff(1) is used. + +SEE ALSO + cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zstd(1), lz4(1) + + + +Tukaani 2024-02-13 XZDIFF(1) |
