    21 are used to invoke the

    22 .I cmp

    23 or the

    24 .I diff

    26 directly to

    27 .I cmp

    28 or

    29 .IR diff "."

    30 If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are

    32 and an uncompressed

    33 .IR file1 ".bz2."

    34 If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to

    35 .I cmp

    38 The exit status from 

    39 .I cmp
