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

SH BUGS
Messages from the
I cmp
or
I diff
programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
