miniunzip (1)

miniunzip [-exvlo] zipfile [ files_to_extract ] [-d tempdir]

minizip is a simple tool which allows the extraction of compressed file archives in the ZIP format used by the MS-DOS utility PKZIP. It was written as a demonstration of the zlib(3) library and therefore lack many of the features of the unzip(1) program.

A number of options are supported. With the exception of -dtempdir these must be supplied before any other arguments and are:

-l,--v

List the files in the archive without extracting them.

-o

Overwrite files without prompting for confirmation.

-x

Extract files (default).

The zipfile argument is the name of the archive to process. The next argument can be used to specify a single file to extract from the archive.

Lastly, the following option can be specified at the end of the command-line:

-dtempdir

Extract the archive in the directory tempdir rather than the current directory.
