Hi,
There also is a small mistake in the zdiff manpage:
----
If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an
uncompressed file1.gz
----
In fact, it's decompressing "file1" and comparing it to
"file1-without-.gz-extension":
# echo one > file1
# gzip file1
# echo two > file1
# zdiff file1
/bin/zdiff: file1: unknown compressed file extension
# zdiff file1.gz
1c1
< one
---
> two
# rm file1 file1.gz
Another option would be to modify zdiff to actually try "file1" and
"file1.gz", if it exists...
IMHO it should also have a note about storage requirements, i.e. does it
uncompress the files to /tmp (so I'd need enough space there) or does it
pipe them through diff or something?
best regards,
Erich Schubert
