Overview
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.
Options
A number of options are supported. With the exception of -d tempdir 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:
-
-d tempdir -
Extract the archive in the directory tempdir rather than the current directory.
