cheat sheets.

EXAMPLES

To use unzip to extract all members of the archive letters.zip into the current
directory and subdirectories below it, creating any subdirectories as necessary:

unzip letters
To extract all members of letters.zip into the current directory only:

unzip -j letters
To test letters.zip, printing only a summary message indicating whether the
archive is OK or not:

unzip -tq letters
To test all zipfiles in the current directory, printing only the summaries:

unzip -tq \*.zip
(The backslash before the asterisk is only required if the shell expands
wildcards, as in Unix; double quotes could have been used instead, as in the
source examples below.) To extract to standard output all members of letters.zip
whose names end in .tex, auto-converting to the local end-of-line convention and
piping the output into more(1):

unzip -ca letters \*.tex | more
To extract the binary file paper1.dvi to standard output and pipe it to a
printing program:

unzip -p articles paper1.dvi | dvips
To extract all FORTRAN and C source files--*.f, *.c, *.h, and Makefile--into the
/tmp directory:

unzip source.zip "*.[fch]" Makefile -d /tmp
(the double quotes are necessary only in Unix and only if globbing is turned
on). To extract all FORTRAN and C source files, regardless of case (e.g., both
*.c and *.C, and any makefile, Makefile, MAKEFILE or similar):

unzip -C source.zip "*.[fch]" makefile -d /tmp
To extract any such files but convert any uppercase MS-DOS or VMS names to
lowercase and convert the line-endings of all of the files to the local standard
(without respect to any files that might be marked ``binary''):

unzip -aaCL source.zip "*.[fch]" makefile -d /tmp
To extract only newer versions of the files already in the current directory,
without querying (NOTE: be careful of unzipping in one timezone a zipfile
created in another--ZIP archives other than those created by Zip 2.1 or later
contain no timezone information, and a ``newer'' file from an eastern timezone
may, in fact, be older):

unzip -fo sources
To extract newer versions of the files already in the current directory and to
create any files not already there (same caveat as previous example):

unzip -uo sources
To display a diagnostic screen showing which unzip and zipinfo options are
stored in environment variables, whether decryption support was compiled in, the
compiler with which unzip was compiled, etc.:

unzip -v
In the last five examples, assume that UNZIP or UNZIP OPTS is set to -q. To do a
singly quiet listing:

unzip -l file.zip
To do a doubly quiet listing:

unzip -ql file.zip
(Note that the ``.zip'' is generally not necessary.) To do a standard listing:

unzip --ql file.zip
or

unzip -l-q file.zip
or

unzip -l--q file.zip
