From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebast...@breakpoint.cc> The `cmp' command will return early if a difference is found while the shell script is still invoking the decompressor which writes into the closed FD. This results in SIGPIPE / exit code 141. By ignoring SIGPIPE the real return code from `cmp' is observed which is `1' and xzdiff exits with `1'. Without ignoring SIGPIPE the exitcode 141 is observed and xzdiff returns with `2'.
