All options specified are passed directly to _c_m_p or _d_i_f_f. If only _f_i_l_e_1 is specified, it is compared to the uncom- pressed contents of _f_i_l_e_1.gz. If two files are specified, their con- tents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to _c_m_p or _d_i_f_f. The input files are not modified. The exit status from _c_m_p or _d_i_f_f is preserved.
