NAME
unzip - list/test/extract from a ZIP archive file
SYNOPSIS
unzip [ -cflptuvxz[ajnoqUV] ] file[.zip] [filespec...]
ARGUMENTS
file[.zip] Path of the ZIP archive. The suffix ``.zip'' is
applied if the file specified does not exist.
Note that self-extracting ZIP files are sup-
ported; just specify the ``.exe'' suffix your-
self.
[filespec] An optional list of archive members to be pro-
cessed. Expressions may be used to match multi-
ple members; be sure to quote expressions that
contain characters interpreted by the operating
system. See DESCRIPTION (below) for more
details.
OPTIONS
-c extract files to stdout/screen (``CRT'')
-f freshen existing files (replace if newer); create none
-l list archive files (short format)
-p extract files to pipe; no informational messages
-t test archive files
-u update existing files; create new ones if needed
-v list archive files (verbose format)
-x extract files in archive (default)
-z display only the archive comment
MODIFIERS
-a convert to MS-DOS textfile format (CR LF), Mac format (CR),
Unix/VMS format (LF), OR from ASCII to EBCDIC, depending on
your system (only use for TEXT files!)
-j junk paths (don't recreate archive's directory structure)
-n never overwrite existing files; don't prompt
-o OK to overwrite files without prompting
-q perform operations quietly (-qq => even quieter)
-s [OS/2, MS-DOS] allow spaces in filenames (e.g., "EA DATA. SF")
-U leave filenames uppercase if created under MS-DOS, VMS, etc.
-V retain (VMS) file version numbers
-X [VMS] restore owner/protection info (may require privileges)
DESCRIPTION
unzip will list, test, or extract from a ZIP archive, com-
monly found on MSDOS systems. Archive member extraction is
implied by the absence of the -c, -p, -t, -l, -v or -z
options. All archive members are processed unless a
filespec is provided to specify a subset of the archive
members. The filespec is similar to an egrep expression,
and may contain:
UnZip version 4.2 1
unzip(1) USER COMMANDS unzip(1)
* matches a sequence of 0 or more characters
? matches exactly 1 character
\nnn matches the character having octal code nnn
[...] matches any single character found inside the brack-
ets; ranges are specified by a beginning character,
a hyphen, and an ending character. If a '!' follows
the left bracket, then the range of characters
matched is complemented with respect to the ASCII
character set.
