If you give it an argument (other than file),
you are modifying is default behavior.
man pages for unzip
Info-ZIP Last change: 3 November 1997 (v5.32)
NAME
unzip - list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP
archive
SYNOPSIS
unzip [-Z] [-cflptuvz[abjnoqsCLMVX$]] file[.zip]
[file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...] [-d exdir]
DESCRIPTION
unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive.
^^
/* If it lists, it is NOT testing nor extracting. */
The default behavior (with no options) is to extract into
the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all
files from the specified ZIP archive. A companion program,
zip (available from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/),
creates ZIP archives; both programs are compatible with
archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP for MS-DOS,
but in many cases the program options or default behaviors
differ.
...
-v be verbose or print diagnostic version info. This
option has evolved and now behaves as both an option
and a modifier. As an option it has two purposes:
when a zipfile is specified with no other options, -v
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
lists archive files verbosely, adding to the basic -l
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
info the compression method, compressed size, compres-
sion ratio and 32-bit CRC. When no zipfile is speci-
fied (that is, the complete command is simply ``unzip
-v''), a diagnostic screen is printed. In addition to
the normal header with release date and version, unzip
lists the home Info-ZIP ftp site and where to find a
list of other ftp and non-ftp sites; the target operat-
ing system for which it was compiled, as well as (pos-
sibly) the hardware on which it was compiled, the com-
piler and version used, and the compilation date; any
special compilation options that might affect the
program's operation (see also DECRYPTION below); and
any options stored in environment variables that might
do the same (see ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS below). As a
modifier it works in conjunction with other options
(e.g., -t) to produce more verbose or debugging output;
this is not yet fully implemented but will be in future
releases.
Try:
# unzip filename.ext
