ZRUN(1) 																   ZRUN(1)

NAME

       zrun - automatically uncompress arguments to command

SYNOPSIS

       zrun command file.gz [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Prefixing a shell command with "zrun" causes any compressed files that are arguments of the command to be transparently uncompressed to
       temp files (not pipes) and the uncompressed files fed to the command.

       This is a quick way to run a command that does not itself support compressed files, without manually uncompressing the files.

       The following compression types are supported: gz bz2 Z xz lzma lzo

       If zrun is linked to some name beginning with z, like zprog, and the link is executed, this is equivalent to executing "zrun prog".

BUGS

       Modifications to the uncompressed temporary file are not fed back into the input file, so using this as a quick way to make an editor
       support compressed files won't work.

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 specified 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.
