NAME
unzip - list/test/extract from a ZIP archive file

SYNOPSIS
unzip [ -cflptuvxz[ajnoqUV] ] file[.zip] [filespec...]

ARGUMENTS
file[.zip] Path of the ZIP archive. The suffix ``.zip'' is
applied if the file specified does not exist.
Note that self-extracting ZIP files are sup-
ported; just specify the ``.exe'' suffix your-
self.

[filespec] An optional list of archive members to be pro-
cessed. Expressions may be used to match multi-
ple members; be sure to quote expressions that
contain characters interpreted by the operating
system. See DESCRIPTION (below) for more
details.

OPTIONS
-c extract files to stdout/screen (``CRT'')
-f freshen existing files (replace if newer); create none
-l list archive files (short format)
-p extract files to pipe; no informational messages
-t test archive files
-u update existing files; create new ones if needed
-v list archive files (verbose format)
-x extract files in archive (default)
-z display only the archive comment

MODIFIERS
-a convert to MS-DOS textfile format (CR LF), Mac format (CR),
Unix/VMS format (LF), OR from ASCII to EBCDIC, depending on
your system (only use for TEXT files!)
-j junk paths (don't recreate archive's directory structure)
-n never overwrite existing files; don't prompt
-o OK to overwrite files without prompting
-q perform operations quietly (-qq => even quieter)
-s [OS/2, MS-DOS] allow spaces in filenames (e.g., "EA DATA. SF")
-U leave filenames uppercase if created under MS-DOS, VMS, etc.
-V retain (VMS) file version numbers
-X [VMS] restore owner/protection info (may require privileges)

DESCRIPTION
unzip will list, test, or extract from a ZIP archive, com-
monly found on MSDOS systems. Archive member extraction is
implied by the absence of the -c, -p, -t, -l, -v or -z
options. All archive members are processed unless a
filespec is provided to specify a subset of the archive
members. The filespec is similar to an egrep expression,
and may contain:

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
