xzdiff: Compare files.
$ xzdiff ${filename1} ${filename2}
try on your machine

This command is using the "xzdiff" tool to compare the contents of two compressed files.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "xzdiff": This is the name of the command-line utility that is being executed.
  • "${filename1}": This is a placeholder for the first file you want to compare. It is a variable that should be replaced with the actual filename or path of the first compressed file.
  • "${filename2}": This is also a placeholder for the second file you want to compare. Similar to "${filename1}", it should be replaced with the actual filename or path of the second compressed file.

Overall, the command is comparing the contents of the two files specified by "filename1" and "filename2" using the "xzdiff" tool.
