NAME

       minizip - create ZIP archives

SYNOPSIS

       minizip [-o] zipfile [ " files" ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       minizip  is  a simple tool which allows the creation 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 zip(1) program.

OPTIONS

       The first argument supplied is the name of the ZIP archive to create or
       -o  in  which case it is ignored and the second argument treated as the
       name of the ZIP file.  If the  ZIP  file  already  exists  it  will  be
       overwritten.

       Subsequent  arguments  specify  a  list  of  files  to place in the ZIP
       archive.  If none are specified then an empty archive will be  created.

SEE ALSO

       miniunzip(1), zlib(3), zip(1).
