The default behavior (with no options) is to +extract into the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all +files from the specified ZIP archive. Unzip is compatible with +archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP, but in many cases the program +options or default behaviors differ. + +Zipinfo lists technical information about files in a ZIP archive, most +commonly found on MS-DOS systems. Such information includes file access +permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and operating +system or file system of compressing program, and the like. + +Funzip acts as a filter; that is, it assumes that a ZIP archive is +being piped into standard input, and it extracts the first member from +the archive to stdout. If there is an argument, then the input comes +from the specified file instead of from stdin. + +Unzipsfx is a modified version of unzip designed to be prepended to +existing ZIP archives in order to form self-extracting archives. +Instead of taking its first non-flag argument to be the zipfile(s) to +be extracted, unzipsfx seeks itself under the name by which it was +invoked and tests or extracts the contents of the appended archive. |
