xzcmp: Compare two specific files.

xzcmp

$ xzcmp ${filename1} ${filename2}

try on your machine

The command xzcmp ${filename1} ${filename2} is used to compare two files that have been compressed using the xz compression algorithm.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

xzcmp: This is the command itself, which is used to compare two xz-compressed files.
${filename1}: This is a placeholder representing the name of the first file you want to compare. You need to replace ${filename1} with the actual name of the file.
${filename2}: This is another placeholder representing the name of the second file you want to compare. Again, you need to replace ${filename2} with the actual name of the file.

When the command is executed, it compares the contents of both files and prints a comparison result indicating whether the files are identical or showing the differences between them.
