Unzip Files
unzipExpanding a Zip archive isn't hard at all. To create a zipped archive, use the zip command; to expand that archive, use the unzip command. $ unzip moby.zip Archive: moby.zip inflating: job.txt inflating: moby-dick.txt inflating: paradise_lost.txt The unzip command helpfully tells you what it's doing as it works. To get even more information, add the -v option (which stands, of course, for verbose). unzip -v moby.zip Archive: moby.zip Length Method Size Ratio CRC-32 Name ------- ------ ------ ----- ------ ---- 102519 Defl:X 35747 65% fabf86c9 job.txt 1236574 Defl:X 487553 61% 34a8cc3a moby-dick.txt 508925 Defl:X 224004 56% 6abe1d0f paradise_lost.t ------- ------ --- ------- 1848018 747304 60% 3 files There's quite a bit of useful data here, including the method used to compress the files, the ratio of original to compressed file size, and the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) used for error correction. |
