freebsd-skq/usr.bin/gzip/zdiff.1
delphij 2089860135 Replace the GNU gzip with a slightly modified NetBSD gzip. The
NetBSD version is a feature-to-feature re-implementation of GNU
gzip using the freely-redistributable zlib and this version is
expected to be mostly bug-to-bug compatible with the GNU
implementation.

 - Because this is a piece of mature code and we want to make
   changes so it is added directly rather than importing to
   src/contrib.
 - Connect newly added code to src/usr.bin/ and rescue/rescue
   build.
 - Disconnect the GNU gzip code from build for now, they will
   be eventually removed completely.
 - Provide two new src.conf(5) knobs, WITHOUT_BZIP2_SUPPORT and
   WITHOUT_BZIP2.

Tested by:	kris (full exp-7 pointyhat build)
Approved by:	core (importing a 4-clause BSD licensed file)
Approved by:	re (adding new utility during -HEAD code slush)

.Sh NAME
.Nm zcmp ,
.Nm zdiff
.Nd compare compressed files
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm zcmp
.Op Ar options
.Ar file
.Op Ar file2
.Nm zdiff
.Op Ar options
.Ar file
.Op Ar file2
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm zcmp
and
.Nm zdiff
are filters that invoke
.Xr cmp 1
or
.Xr diff 1
respectively to compare compressed files.
Such files generally have a
.Dq Z
or
.Dq gz
extension (both the
.Xr compress 1
and
.Xr gzip 1
formats are supported).
Any
.Ar options
that are specified are passed to
.Xr cmp 1
or
.Xr diff 1 .
.Pp
If only
.Ar file1
is specified, it is compared against a file with the same name, but
with the extension removed.
When both
.Ar file1
or
.Ar file2
are specified, either file may be compressed.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width "TMPDIR"
.It Ev TMPDIR
Directory in which to place temporary files.
If unset,
.Pa /tmp
is used.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/tmp/zdiff.XXXXXXXXXX" -compact
.It Pa /tmp/zcmp.XXXXXXXXXX
Temporary file for
.Nm zcmp .
.It Pa /tmp/zdiff.XXXXXXXXXX
Temporary file for
.Nm zdiff .
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr cmp 1 ,
.Xr compress 1 ,
.Xr diff 1
.Sh CAVEATS
.Nm zcmp
and
.Nm zdiff
rely solely on the file extension to determine what is, or is not,
a compressed file.
Consequently, the following are not supported as arguments:
.Bl -dash
.It
directories
.It
device special files
.It
filenames indicating the standard input
