NAME

       miniunzip - uncompress and examine ZIP archives

SYNOPSIS

       miniunzip [-exvlo] zipfile [ files_to_extract ] [-d tempdir]

DESCRIPTION

       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.
