@ -424,11 +424,16 @@ XZ Utils Installation
gl_cv_posix_shell=/path/to/posix-sh as an argument to the configure
script.
Some of the scripts require also mktemp. The original mktemp can be
found from <http://www.mktemp.org/>. On GNU, most will use the mktemp
program from GNU coreutils instead of the original implementation.
Both mktemp versions are fine for XZ Utils (and practically for
everything else too).
xzdiff (xzcmp/lzdiff/lzcmp) may use mktemp if it is available. As
a fallback xzdiff will use mkdir to securely create a temporary
directory. Having mktemp available is still recommended since the
mkdir fallback method isn't as robust as mktemp is. The original
mktemp can be found from <http://www.mktemp.org/>. On GNU, most will
use the mktemp program from GNU coreutils instead of the original
implementation. Both mktemp versions are fine.
In addition to using xz to decompress .xz files, xzgrep and xzdiff
use gzip, bzip2, and lzop to support .gz, bz2, and .lzo files.
