Here’s a basic example of bzcmp and bzdiff:<\/p>\n
bzcmp file1.bz2 file2.bz2<\/p>\n
bzdiff file1.bz2 file2.bz2<\/p>\n
And the following screenshot shows the output produced by these commands:<\/p>\n
While these commands do not explicitly offer any command line options, you can use the options from\u00a0cmp<\/a> and\u00a0diff<\/a> commands (as these tools are internally invoked by bzcmp and bzdiff commands).<\/p>\n Just like\u00a0more<\/a> and less, both bzmore and bzless are filters for CRT viewing, but for compressed bz2 files. To give you an even better idea, here’s an excerpt about bzmore from its man page:<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bzmore\u00a0 normally\u00a0 pauses after each screenful, printing --More-- at the Of course, you can also use these commands to simply view a compressed file. Here’s an example:<\/p>\n As you’d have guessed by now, bzgrep also works on the lines of other bz series commands we’ve explained here. Specifically, it’s grep<\/a>, but for compressed files. Following is an excerpt from the man page of this command:<\/p>\n Here’s an example usage of bzgrep:<\/p>\n bzgrep “menu” file1.bz2<\/p>\n The following screenshot shows the output:<\/p>\n So if you are dealing with compressed files (.bz2), and want to perform basic operations like searching, comparing, and more, you can use these commands. We’ve discussed the basics here. For more information about these tools, head to their man pages (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n Share this page:<\/b><\/p>\n \n While the bzip2 command line utility can be used to compress files, there are many other tools that let you perform basic tasks – like comparing such files – without the need to uncompress them. Here, in this tutorial, we will discuss the basics of bzcmp, bzdiff, bzmore, bzless, and bzgrep commands using some easy …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-36"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6117\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.howtoforge.com\/images\/command-tutorial\/big\/bzcmp-bzdiff.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nQ2. How bzmore and bzless commands work?<\/h3>\n
Bzmore is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text
