NAME
       miniunzip - uncompress and examine ZIP archives

SYNOPSIS
       miniunzip  [-exvlo]  zipfile [ files_to_extract ] [-d tem-
       pdir]

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(b)  library  and therefore lack many of the fea-
       tures of the unzip(p) program.

OPTIONS
       A number of options are supported.  With the exception  of
       -d tempdir  these  must be supplied before any other argu-
       ments 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  pro-
       cess.  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.

SEE ALSO
       minizip(p), zlib(b), unzip(p).
