Unless I know who the ZIP file is from, I generally use:
rm -rf filefromwhoknows.zip
(g)
UnZIP has been part of linux for quit some time - and ARK (if you're
using KDE) or File-Roller should be able to pick it up just by a
double-click on the archive itself - but here is the output from just
typing "unzip" in a terminal:
UnZip 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler.
Send
bug reports to the authors at [EMAIL PROTECTED]; see README for
details.
Usage: unzip [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d
exdir]
Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to
exdir;
file[.zip] may be a wildcard. -Z => ZipInfo mode ("unzip -Z" for
usage).
-p extract files to pipe, no messages -l list files (short
format)
-f freshen existing files, create none -t test compressed archive
data
-u update files, create if necessary -z display archive comment
-x exclude files that follow (in xlist) -d extract files into
exdir
modifiers: -q quiet mode (-qq =>
quieter)
-n never overwrite existing files -a auto-convert any text
files
-o overwrite files WITHOUT prompting -aa treat ALL files as text
-j junk paths (do not make directories) -v be verbose/print
version info
-C match filenames case-insensitively -L make (some) names
lowercase
-X restore UID/GID info -V retain VMS version
numbers
-M pipe through "more"
pager
Examples (see unzip.txt for more info):
unzip data1 -x joe => extract all files except joe from zipfile
data1.zip
unzip -p foo | more => send contents of foo.zip via pipe into program
more
unzip -fo foo ReadMe => quietly replace existing ReadMe if archive
file newer
:P
