It would be better if this were a generically usable interface to a variety of compressors such as gzip, bzip2, lz, etc. > cd /usr/src/versin-control/program.cvs > diff -u -z program.1 /usr/share/man/man1/program.1.gz Note that modern shells including GNU bash allow this through the command line shell. diff -u program.1 <(zcat /usr/share/man/man1/program.1.gz) Is that good enough? If it is in the shell and therefore supports all compressors and all command line utilities uniformly then I do not think that it should be added to the code of every command line program.
