UNZIP(1)                FreeBSD General Commands Manual               UNZIP(1)

NAME
     unzip - extract files from a ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS
     unzip [-aCcfjLlnopqtuvy] [-d dir] [-x pattern] [-P password] zipfile

DESCRIPTION
     The following options are available:

     -a          When extracting a text file, convert DOS-style line endings
                 to Unix-style line endings.

     -C          Match file names case-insensitively.

     -c          Extract to stdout/screen.  When extracting files from the
                 zipfile, they are written to stdout.  This is similar to -p,
                 but does not suppress normal output.

     -d dir      Extract files into the specified directory rather than the
                 current directory.

     -f          Update existing.  Extract only files from the zipfile if a
                 file with the same name already exists on disk and is older
                 than the former.  Otherwise, the file is silently skipped.

     -j          Ignore directories stored in the zipfile; instead, extract
                 all files directly into the extraction directory.

     -L          Convert the names of the extracted files and directories to
                 lowercase.

     -l          List, rather than extract, the contents of the zipfile.

     -n          No overwrite.  When extracting a file from the zipfile, if a
                 file with the same name already exists on disk, the file is
                 silently skipped.

     -o          Overwrite.  When extracting a file from the zipfile, if a
                 file with the same name already exists on disk, the existing
                 file is replaced with the file from the zipfile.

     -p          Extract to stdout.  When extracting files from the zipfile,
                 they are written to stdout.  The normal output is suppressed
                 as if -q was specified.

     -P password
                 Extract encrypted files using a password.  Putting a password
                 on the command line using this option can be insecure.

     -q          Quiet: print less information while extracting.

     -t          Test: do not extract anything, but verify the checksum of
                 every file in the archive.

     -u          Update.  When extracting a file from the zipfile, if a file
                 with the same name already exists on disk, the existing file
                 is replaced with the file from the zipfile if and only if the
                 latter is newer than the former.  Otherwise, the file is
                 silently skipped.

     -v          List verbosely, rather than extract, the contents of the
                 zipfile.  This differs from -l by using the long listing.
                 Note that most of the data is currently fake and does not
                 reflect the content of the archive.

     -x pattern  Exclude files matching the pattern pattern.

     -y          Print four digit years in listings instead of two.

     -Z mode     Emulate zipinfo(1L) mode.  Enabling zipinfo(1L) mode changes
                 the way in which additional arguments are parsed.  Currently
                 only zipinfo(1L) mode 1 is supported, which lists the file
                 names one per line.

     Note that only one of -n, -o, and -u may be specified.  If specified
     filename is "-", then data is read from stdin.

ENVIRONMENT
     If the UNZIP_DEBUG environment variable is defined, the -q command-line
     option has no effect, and additional debugging information will be
     printed to stderr.

COMPATIBILITY
     The unzip utility aims to be sufficiently compatible with other
     implementations to serve as a drop-in replacement in the context of the
     ports(7) system.  No attempt has been made to replicate functionality
     which is not required for that purpose.

     For compatibility reasons, command-line options will be recognized if
     they are listed not only before but also after the name of the zipfile.

     Normally, the -a option should only affect files which are marked as text
     files in the zipfile's central directory.  Since the archive(3) library
     does not provide access to that information, it is not available to the
     unzip utility.  Instead, the unzip utility will assume that a file is a
     text file if no non-ASCII characters are present within the first block
     of data decompressed for that file.  If non-ASCII characters appear in
     subsequent blocks of data, a warning will be issued.

     The unzip utility is only able to process ZIP archives handled by
     libarchive(3).  Depending on the installed version of libarchive(3), this
     may or may not include self-extracting or ZIPX archives.
