unzip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in
unzip-5.50: description + notes
.zipformat (also called "zipfiles"). Although highly compatible both with PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's own zip program, our primary objectives have been portability and non-MSDOS functionality.unzip will list, test, or extract files from a
.ziparchive, commonly found on MS-DOS systems. The default behavior (with no options) is to extract into the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all files from the specified zipfile. A companion program, zip, creates.ziparchives; both programs are compatible with archives created by PKZIP and PKUNZIP for MS-DOS, but in many cases the program options or default behaviors differ. (For example, UnZip recreates the stored directory structure by default; PKUNZIP unpacks all files in the current directory by default.)Info-ZIP's UnZip home page has more information.
