xzdiff: Compare files using paginated results.

xzdiff

$ xzdiff --paginate ${filename1} ${filename2}

try on your machine

The command "xzdiff --paginate ${filename1} ${filename2}" is used to compare two compressed files and display the differences between them in a paginated format.

Here's what each part of the command means:

"xzdiff": This is the main command being executed. It is used to compare compressed files in xz format.
"--paginate": This option tells the command to display the differences in a paginated format, which means the output will be shown page by page with the ability to scroll through them.
"${filename1}": This is a placeholder for the first filename that you want to compare. You need to replace "${filename1}" with the actual filename or path of the first compressed file you want to compare.
"${filename2}": Similarly, this is a placeholder for the second filename that you want to compare. Replace "${filename2}" with the actual filename or path of the second compressed file you want to compare.

By executing this command with the appropriate filenames, you will be able to see the differences between the two compressed files in a paginated format.
